Vintage Hand-Etched Inlaid LNS Cairoware Mortar & Pestl
A beautiful mid-century solid brass mortar and pestle set crafted in the traditional Middle Eastern Cairoware style. Stamped with the authentic "LNS" maker's mark on the base, the flared mortar features a rich, naturally aged golden patina decorated with a striking inlaid silver-toned metal calligraphic scroll, all set against finely hand-engraved background flourishes. The heavy, multi-ringed double-ended brass pestle balances beautifully in the hand. The interior of the mortar bowl showcases a heavily weathered blue-green verdigris patina, offering immense old-world charm.
