Extra-large antique French white marble mortar w/ 3 ears & grooved pouring spout

Likely dating from the late nineteenth century, this extra-large, weighty white marble mortar features two ear handles and a third ear with a grooved pour spout. These pieces are a staple accessory in French kitchens, particularly for preparing pistou (like pesto). Add a touch of antique French charm to your entry by using as a catch-all for keys by the front door, or as a sculptural display on a table or shelf arrangement.
