【Medium Size】 Tetsubin (Iron Kettle) - Nambu Tekki (Nanbu Ironware) - Autumn Leaves - Art Piece - Antique - 1.3L No inscription. There is rust inside, but it is fine for boiling water to drink. It is a well-maintained iron kettle. The exterior is a brown color. This is not rust. You can use it as is, but we recommend boiling water and changing it a few times when you first start using it. Please hold the base of the handle and use your other hand to hold down the lid so it doesn't fall off. Both the handle and the lid will get hot, so please use potholders for both. Water boiled in an iron kettle tastes delicious. It is good for your body to supplement iron and hydration. This is a good size for a family of 2-3 people. To care for it, do not leave water inside. To prevent rust, lightly dry-heat it to evaporate moisture. Do not overheat. Steam will remain on the underside of the lid, so wipe it off with a cloth. Width: Approx. 23cm (including spout) Height: Approx. 22cm (including handle) Weight: 2693g Capacity: Approx. 1.3L We strive for accurate measurements, but please allow for slight errors.
