[QUOTE="Steersman, post: 101592, member: 239"][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=5]I'd look for use-wear next. Interior bottom of mortar, business end of pestle and shaft of pestle where it meets the rim of the mortar. Of course it could have been sitting for centuries without being used, but I'd bet against it. Folks like these objects and brass too. Modern or not, it's a nice piece.[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
