[Rare Antique] Nambu Ironware Tetsubin Square Crane and Bamboo Pattern Copper Lid Antique Original Text: Thank you for viewing. This is an old tetsubin (Nambu Ironware) from a storage find. It has a rare square shape among the many round ones, and has a sense of weight and a unique presence. The body is embossed with the auspicious "crane" and "bamboo" patterns, making it a very tasteful item. The lid is believed to be made of copper (or brass), and the patina and discoloration over time create a good texture.
