Vintage Czech Military Mortar and Pestle Set

There is something deeply grounding about using a tool that was built to last and made to work. This vintage porcelain mortar and pestle set was originally issued by the Czech military and still bears the classic ER maker’s mark from Czechoslovakia. The mortar measures approximately 5 inches tall, offering a wide, stable surface that is perfect for two-handed jobs or heavier grinding tasks. The pestle stands 9 inches tall with a rounded base measuring about 10 inches in circumference, providing a firm, comfortable grip. Crafted from thick ceramic, the set features a smooth glazed exterior, a textured unglazed interior, and a built-in pouring lip. Though originally used in medical or laboratory settings, it now makes a striking addition to studios, workshops, or thoughtful displays. Whether you are crushing dry materials, blending powders, or simply showcasing a piece of military history, each set carries the quiet presence of tools that were built to work. Stock is limited, and complete unused sets like this are rare. Unused, excellent vintage condition. May show some signs of long-term storage (dirt, dust, imperfections). Genuine European Military Surplus. Made in Czechoslovakia.
