Beautiful Nanbu Iron kettle by Ryubundo. High-end piece.
Ryubundo is a venerable Tetsubin (iron kettle) workshop in Kyoto that lasted for eight generations from the end of the Edo period until around 1958.
Known for its innovative techniques and extremely expensive items, its exquisite workmanship and beautiful appearance continue to attract many connoisseurs to this day.
★This pot is for boiling water, non enamel-coated.
Japanese iron kettles have the ability to rid water of any chlorides which brings a mellow quality and therefore water becomes mild and rich in iron and it is good for your health.
W 16 cm x H 10 cm / 22 cm / 1574g
Holds about 1100ml
Good vintage condition ★★★☆☆
★This Tetsubin is old and has rust on the inside, but has been coated with green tea to prevent rust and the surface has been cleaned with Japanese camellia oil. It can be used without any problem and boils clear water that is harmless to the body. (I'm personally using a similar conditioned kettle every day)
