DescriptionAuthentic IWACHU: u5ca9u92f3 Japanese Maple Cast Iron Tetsubin Teapot
This Authentic IWACHU u5ca9u92f3 Japanese cast iron teapot is hand crafted with intricate Japanese traditional relief design. The teapot comes with a cast iron trivet with traditional pattern designed in perfect concave form and dimensions to keep your tea piping hot. Teapot has the manufacturer's stamp in relief (u5ca9u92f3 = IWACHU) at the bottom as well as "made in Japan" (see pics) and includes a lovely traditional pattern top lid.
Teapot is 6 inches in height including handle and 6.25 inches wide including spout. Tea pot body is 3 inches in height and holds 20 oz - 2.5 cups. (Weight of the pot: 3 pounds = 1350 g )
I last brought a couple of these for my collection while working in Japan. These teapots are made in the uniquely Japanese method of hand-crafted Tetsubin (cast iron tea pots), based around the city of Morioka in Iwate prefecture for centuries [ See: /o6AuxztRkYM - this a video from the ACTUAL Iwachu workshops and factory! ].
This is a fine specimen of Japanese ironware, of superior quality fine detail and beauty.
Enamel coated interior in perfect condition to prevent rust. Nambu Tekki (traditional Japanese cast ironwork) is hand-made, heat-retaining, strong cast iron traditional construction that lasts for posterity. Teapot is also stovetop safe - withstands high heat to keep tea at the perfect temperature.
