【Large】 Iron Kettle, Nambu Tekki, Crane and Pine, Art Object, 4L, Antique, Art Object No rust. Super beautiful condition. No water leaks. You can use it as is, but it's recommended to boil water and replace it a few times when you first start using it. Hold the base of the handle and use the other hand to hold down the lid so it doesn't fall off. Both the handle and the lid will get hot, so use potholders for both. Water boiled in an iron kettle tastes delicious. It will likely be too heavy and difficult to use for everyday household purposes. It is quite large. For maintenance, do not leave water inside. To prevent rust, lightly dry-heat to evaporate moisture. Strong dry-heating is strictly prohibited. Steam will remain on the underside of the lid, so wipe it off with a cloth or similar.
