Thank you for viewing. The description uses AI-generated text. Please use the images to judge authenticity for yourself as a reference. This is a Nambu Tekki (Southern Ironware) iron kettle. It has a mark that says "Higashi" (East). 1. This small iron kettle features a beautiful design that inherits the tradition of Nambu Tekki. The black exterior exudes a sense of luxury while remaining simple, and placing it on a wooden table further enhances the Japanese atmosphere. It also functions as a teapot, serving not only as a tea utensil but also being perfect for everyday tea time. The texture of the cast iron feels comfortable in the hand, and the handle is designed for easy use, allowing you to pour tea with confidence. It has a special charm as a "defective item," and you can enjoy its unique texture. Pottery with age may have distortions, manufacturing flaws (kiln marks), or underfired areas (crazing). These are inherent characteristics, and are not specifically mentioned in the product description. Please carefully check the product condition in the images before purchasing.
