About the Item
Adorned with a Textured Surface and a Gracefully Arched Handle, This Japanese Teapot Served the Purpose of Boiling Water for Customary Tea Ceremonies. Identified as a Tetsubin, Its Cast-Iron Composition is Believed to Enhance Water Quality, Resulting in a Mellow and Sweet Tea Flavor.
Crafted Through the Pouring of Iron into Clay or Sand Molds, the Kettle Boasts a Rustic Texture that Beautifully Contrasts its Distinctive Angular Shape. The Incised Lid, Adorned with a Lotus Bud-Shaped Knob, Bears the Signature of the Artisan Responsible for Creating This Masterpiece During Japan's Meiji Period. This Era Marked the Infusion of Modern Western Design Elements into Traditional Forms by Skilled Artisans.
