Description

This vintage Japanese cast iron kettle (tetsubin) is a beautifully crafted piece, embodying the deep symbolism of the pine tree (matsu) in Japanese culture—representing longevity, resilience, and steadfastness. The surface of the kettle is adorned with intricate pine tree engravings, adding a natural and elegant touch to its design.

A distinctive feature is the pine cone-shaped finial on the lid, reinforcing the theme of nature and tradition. The kettle’s sturdy cast iron body ensures excellent heat retention, making it ideal for heating water for sencha or matcha preparation. Over time, the interior of a tetsubin can develop a mineral-rich layer, enhancing the taste of boiled water.

This kettle is not just a functional tool but a work of art—perfect for tea enthusiasts, collectors, or those who appreciate the timeless beauty of Japanese craftsmanship.
