well done john,,how do people all over the world know about your antique shop???...i remember reading about a chinese bloke that nalso bought a large sum of peices off you recently..

john any chance you could tell me what this is??

genuine old cast brass

11.5 cms high and 10.2 cms in diameter..
very heavy about 1 kg

designs or mottifs on the outside...

thanks...

john any chance you could tell me what this is??

genuine old cast brass

pestle and mortar or is it mortar and pestle
or is this just the mortar or is this the pestle.

this is your home work for tonight.

no photo of the inside, this would determine the answer.


going by the colour do you think it could bronze
some bronze can polish up like brass.

The symbols look like a tourist item.

Not the thing I would even pick up in a car boot sale.

but I can be wrong.

I have learned that if the base of an item is large (equal to the diameter of the top.) there is more chance of a bigger return on your money. This rule may not always apply.

no dont get me wrong,,it came into my possesion for free as part of a lot....i dont hold it in high regard i was just interseted to find out what it is,,,it looks like a goblet but way to thick and heavy,,,probably a decorative item for tourist as you say,,just thought i would ask before i dump it = ebay.

oh and the pestle is the stick you grind the ingredient with the mortar is the the thing i have,,,,,,john do you have a spare late 19th century/early 20th century pestle.....??????lol
