Thank you for viewing. This is a teapot from Iwachu, in Morioka City, the home of Nambu ironware. It is a used item, having been used a few times. There is no major, noticeable rust, but there is some rust at the base of the handle and on the bottom. This is a teapot, not a large iron kettle for boiling water. Please note that it may be difficult to gauge the size from the images.
