Description

This vintage Japanese copper kettle showcases a simple yet elegant design, reflecting the practicality and artistry of traditional Japanese tea culture. The kettle’s tapered body, made of aged copper with a rich patina, gives it a timeless character. Its curved spout is shaped for a smooth and precise pour, ideal for daily use.

The arched metal handle, worn to a lighter tone from years of handling, adds to the kettle’s rustic charm. Unlike cast iron tetsubin, copper kettles are valued for their excellent heat conductivity, making them efficient for boiling water quickly. Such kettles were commonly used for sencha (steeped green tea) and other tea preparations, often placed over a charcoal brazier or stove.

A wonderful piece for collectors or tea enthusiasts, this kettle embodies the warmth and simplicity of Japanese craftsmanship.
