Watch Mortar. Circa 1905. Finely turned ebonized wooden mortar and pestle set. A borrowed pocket watch is dropped in the vessel and crushed by the mortar. The fragments of the timepiece then vanish, only to reappear – restored, as the original working watch, in a nest of boxes or any other improbable location. Height 5 ¼”, diameter at mouth 3 ½”. A finely made example.
