The pestle is marked “WEDGWOOD” and it is also impressed with a letter “T”. The mortar is impressed “GUARANTEED ACID PROOF” and it is also impressed with “000”. This was Wedgwood’s system for coding the sizes of mortars, with a triple 0 being very small. This is made from a non porous, white stoneware and it dates from c.1860. The pestle has a turned beechwood handle. Both the pestle and mortar are in excellent condition.
