mortar and pestle query



Please respond directly to the patron. I have tried collections and
books in my library/archives. Tried a Google search too, but didn't have
much luck.

Can you give me any background on an Acme ceramic (porcelain?) mortar
and pestle (pestle has wooden handle).  I would like to know when and
where they were manufactured and used.  I assume they were made for
medical or apothecary purposes.   I would appreciate any history or
information you can share.

Thank you.
