Up for sale is a beautiful, traditional Japanese cast iron. Authentic Japanese Nanbu Style Cast Iron Tetsubin Kettle / Teapot – "Tekki no Ippin" Up for sale is a beautiful, traditional Japanese cast iron Tetsubin (kettle/teapot) featuring the classic arare (hailstone) textured pattern. This heavy-duty, high-quality piece features a molded maker's mark on the bottom reading 「鉄器の逸品」 ( Tekki no Ippin ) , which translates to "A Masterpiece of Ironware." Unlike many modern decorative reproductions that feature a delicate enamel coating, this vessel has a traditional bare cast iron interior . This means it is highly versatile and dual-purpose: it can be used directly on a stovetop (gas, electric, or low induction) to boil water, or used to steep your favorite loose-leaf teas using the included removable stainless steel infuser basket. Boiling water in a bare-iron Tetsubin naturally purifies the water, giving it a noticeably sweeter, smoother, and rounder flavor profile that perfectly complements high-quality green teas, oolongs, and pourovers. Product Details: Material: Heavy-duty Japanese cast iron ( Nanbu style) Pattern: Traditional Arare (Hailstone) texture Interior: Authentic bare cast iron (No enamel lining – stovetop safe!) Included Accessories: Original removable stainless steel mesh tea strainer/infuser basket and matching cast iron lid Bottom Inscription: 「鉄器の逸品」 ( Tekki no Ippin ) Condition: The kettle is in excellent pre-owned condition with minor signs of gentle handling. The exterior dark finish is well-preserved. There is minimal, completely natural surface oxidization on the raw underside rim from normal shelf wear. The bare iron interior is clean and ready for seasoning. No cracks, chips, or structural defects. Please see all high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic condition. Important Usage & Care Note: Because this is authentic bare cast iron, it must be rinsed with hot water only (never use dish soap or abrasive sponges) and dried completely after every use to prevent rust. Season the kettle for ideal flavor! Item will be packed securely and shipped promptly with tracking. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Condition: Used.
