Mette • Verwint • An Lincoln Anno 1590
Description Bronze
The mortar, the symbol of the apothecary, is arguably the oldest of all pharmaceutical equipment. The Mortars is made of brush bronze
Weight: 1 lbs. 12.5 oz. Used by Apothecaries mortars for bulk material sometimes referred to as bell metal, as it was often used in the manufacture of bells for monasteries and churches. Heavy and highly ornamented bronze mortars were made as early as the 12th century, eventually falling out of favor with the introduction of porcelain mortars in 1779 by Josiah Wedgewood
The earliest mortars in the collection resemble tankards with vertical Gothic ribs. Mortars from the 16th and 17th centuries are elaborately decorated with horizontal decorative bands of flowers and geometric-designs; inscriptions; heraldic shields; and figures of people, animals and insects.
Several of these early mortars have been analyzed with an x-ray fluorescence spectrometer in order to determine their composition.
