Nambu ironware tea kettles not only serve as traditional tea utensils but also make excellent interior decorations. The large pots have sturdy lids that prevent heat from escaping, maximizing the flavor of the tea. Sometimes, there may be distortions, manufacturing marks (kiln marks), or underfired areas (cracks). These are characteristics of the items themselves, and are not specifically mentioned in the product description. Please check the images for any internal rust. Please carefully examine the product condition in the images before purchasing.
