Beautifully encapsulating the Japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi, this cast iron tea kettle has an elegance that far outshines more ornate versions of this ceremonial implement. Likely from Meiji, the craftsmanship is excellent, the overall proportions ideal, and the texture of the metal very pleasing. One-of-a-kind, this antique tea kettle is perfect for boiling water to be used in Sencha or for casual Matcha.
In fine antique condition, this piece is 16cm wide, stands 18cm tall including the handle, and weighs roughly 1 Kg. *** International shipping and insurance included in price.
