This is an old iron kettle (iron teapot). It has an attractive overall pattern of "arare" (hailstones). It's a small size and would look great as an antique, Showa-era retro item, or Japanese interior decoration. There is rust and signs of use due to aging, but it's in a condition where you can enjoy the unique texture of an old iron kettle. *Due to rust inside, we recommend using it more for display, interior decoration, or as a photography prop rather than for practical use. Please check the condition in the photos. Please purchase only if you understand antique items. Instant purchase is OK.
