Artist: Art Populaire

Small mortar made from white marble, similar in quality to Carrara marble, – late 18th / 19th century,
carved in a soft, organic shape. Body has a rounded profile with thick walls, flaring slightly toward the opening.
Upper rim features four rounded protrusions reminiscent of “bear cub ears,”one of which is shaped into a small, discreet spout, serving both decorative and functional purposes.
This distinctive feature gives it a character that is both naive and elegant.
Exterior surface is smooth, weathered by time, while rim shows slight signs of wear, evidence of its age.
Inside is hollowed out into a uniform bowl shape.
Dimensions: approximately 10 cm per side x 8 cm high. Weight: approx. 1 kg
Condition: good antique condition, with signs of wear on edges.
