antique hand-carved wood kitchen mortar Antonio Guiseppe and black button closuresAn antique hand carved wood kitchen mortar with a substantial form and exceptional primitive character. The broad, gently shaped body has a carved basin, simple incised banding around the base and a deep brown surface that highlights the marks and texture of the wood. An expressive piece of early country folk art, its scale and sculptural form make it especially compelling among antique kitchenware, pottery and stoneware. CONDITION In good condition
