England, ca. 15th to 16th century CE. This is a mortar and pestle decorated with a very special symbol for those of us who love English history. On two sides, it has the rose and crown symbol, which could represent the House of York, House of Lancaster, or House of Tudor; each had monarchs so the crown could stand for any of them. Mortar and pestle were standard tools of the medical trade during this time period. Size of mortar: 4.25" W x 3.5" H (10.8 cm x 8.9 cm); size of pestle: 6.9" L x 1.25" W (17.5 cm x 3.2 cm).
Provenance: Ex- The estate of Paul and Louise Bernheimer, Cambridge, MA and Laguna Woods, CA - acquired before 1980
