    Hello antiquers,

    I have found this pottery in a vide-maison in France with a lot of old family-items.
    And I wonder what it is. A mortar ? And can anyone tell me how old it is and where it comes from ?
    It feels ancient. I am really intrigued with it. It has been repaired a long time ago as you can see.

    Quite heavy, do you need the weight ?

    Someone cared enough about it to staple it which was a professional job back in the day. Really rustic! I love it!

    It is a mixing bowl for sauces. The little spout is a clue. 19th century imo.
    Great piece, and I love the staples.:)
