Used Nanbu Tekki Seieido Cast Iron Tetsubin Tea Kettle Small Vintage Japanese

"-------------------------
Product Overview
A vintage Nanbu Tekki cast iron tetsubin (tea kettle) made by Seieido (Oigen) from Iwate Prefecture, Japan. With a history of about 400 years, Nanbu ironware is celebrated for its excellent heat retention and durability. Boiling water in this traditional iron kettle naturally releases small amounts of dietary iron while removing impurities, resulting in remarkably mellow and delicious water for tea. Please note that this is a compact, mini-sized kettle (approx. 350ml capacity), appearing even smaller in person than in standard photos.
