Massive mortar and pain

thanks. never thought of searching italian. i just did a search on italian motars and came up with this one. http://www.windsorhouseantiques.co.uk/stock/d/massive-16th-century-mortar/235401

don't know where italian appears anywhere there but there are certain features that are exact. the italian one was the first time i had seen a flower in the decoration. very interesting.

ups parcel service seems to think i should melt it down.

 

don't punish it........polish it !!! !!!!

 

it has made it out of the basement onto the back porch. it is tall enough to see out a window. someone else would have to love it enough to polish it.

 

ya ya.....just cuz it preys upon your toes.....don't mean it's not lovable !!

 

you don't realize how important toes are until they cause you excruciating pain to use them. i did blame myself. shame on me.
