This collectible mortar and pestle belonged to my granny who used it for smashing areca nut in her betel nut eating routine. If she is alive today, she would be 120 years old. So I believe this mortar and pestle to be at least 100 years old. Note the crooked pestle and the unsymmetrical mortar...this should be an indicator that this mortar and pestle is an antique, and a small one indeed.
