This is an iron teapot from Morioka Seieido's Nambu Tekki (Southern Ironware) collection. It was kept at my parents' house. Although it doesn't appear to have been used, I'm listing it as "like new." I'm not sure how long ago it was made. It's possible it's been around for nearly 30 years or even longer. I don't have the instructions, so I'm not entirely sure, but it seems to have some kind of enamel coating or similar treatment inside. It may not be suitable for the purpose of iron intake. I believe it can be used as a teapot. The beauty of traditional crafts is wonderful as interior decoration, and iron teapots are known for their heat resistance, allowing you to enjoy warm tea for a long time. Since I don't have a chance to use it at home, I would be happy if someone could use it. ♪ Size (approximate, unit: cm, measured by myself, so there may be some errors) Height: 19 (including handle) Body height: 9.5 Width (max): 12.5 Spout to body width: 13 Base: 7 Lid diameter: 6.5 The dome-shaped form is very cute. The ironware has a beautiful Arare (hailstone) pattern, which is designed to become smaller towards the top. The lid has a design that resembles a eggplant stem. The outer box has considerable damage due to aging. Please consider this item if you understand that it has been stored at home for a long time. ·͜· ꕤ︎︎ #NambuTekki #Seieido #IronTeapot #Teapot #IronKettle #NambuArare #Oigen #OIGEN
