vintage Japanese tetsubin iron kettle

$278.00

The high arched handle and bud-shaped lid knob make this Japanese tetsubin (iron kettle) as appealing in silhouette as in detail. Traditionally, tetsubin were used to heat the water for tea, before it was poured into a separate brewing vessel. Now retired from duty and offered as a decorative piece, this example pairs dark, textured iron with a warm-toned metal lid, making a handsome companion to a favourite tea bowl or glazed vase.

For decorative display only; not for heating water or preparing drinks.

23 × 19 cm (order as supplied).

sourced in Japan.
