[QUOTE="Brazier, post: 213204, member: 4073"]Hey all_fakes, thanks alot for your answer! It definitely makes sense that the outlines are cast in, as it does feel like it's part of the mortar and not another kind of metal. I'm amazed you actually found an almost identical example. I've been searching for so long, and only stumbled upon that spanish auction house! Though it looks like either my mortar or pestle is slighty bigger/longer, and with those weird lines all around. (but I guess those could have been polished/worn away on the one you found) But you're completely right about it being a sign of mass production. Ouch. Out of curiosity though, if it is indeed a replica, how old would you reckon it is?[/QUOTE]
