VTG Nambu/Nanbu Tekki Cast Iron Tetsubin Kettle 1.7L by Saihou Oikawa Horseshoe

Description: A vintage Nambu cast iron tetsubin kettle made by Sai Oikawa (branded Saihou/Saiho), who trained as a caster under his father, Shichirou Oikawa, from the 1950s and was recognized as a traditional craftsman designated by the Minister of International Trade and Industry in 1993. The lid’s knob is shaped like a traditional Japanese mallet, and the handle is a fixed type shaped like a forged horseshoe (the handle cannot be laid down). A tetsubin is designed as a kettle for boiling water, featuring an uncoated interior that emphasizes the natural properties of iron. In contrast, a tetsukyusu is primarily used as a teapot, often featuring an enamel-coated interior to prevent rust and enhance usability for tea brewing. *IMPORTANT*Your order will be shipped from Japan and may be subject to import taxes, fees, and customs duties, levied by the customs office of your country, and such fees vary according to the customs regulations there.
