Antique French Coquemar tableware this limestone mortar is beautifulAn antique French coquemar with a warm amber orange glaze. Made in 18th19th century France, these cooking vessels were set directly into the hearth for daily use. Coquemars are increasingly scarce, especially in earthenware examples with such vivid coloration. The missing feet and timeworn surface speak to its long life by the fire, where form and function shaped the rhythms of French country kitchens. Measures: 6 wide x 2. 5 mouth opening x 4. 5 tall
