【Medium-sized】Tetsubin (Iron Kettle) - Tama◯do, Handmade, Comes in a Paulownia Wood Box, Art Object, 1L, Copper Lid, Beautiful Condition Engraving: Tama◯do (Unable to read the other character) This is an iron kettle in good condition. Unused. There is no noticeable rust. The raised relief of the design is delicate. The handle is also finished with a beautiful, unseen carving. Comes in a paulownia wood box. You can use it as is, but when you start using it, it's recommended to boil water in it and replace the water several times. Hold the base of the handle and use your other hand to hold the lid to prevent it from falling. Both the handle and the lid will get hot, so use pot holders for both. Water boiled in a tetsubin tastes delicious. It's the perfect size for a household of 2-3 people. For maintenance, remove all the water and lightly dry-burn it to remove moisture to prevent rust. Strong dry-burning is strictly prohibited. Steam will remain on the underside of the lid, so wipe it off with a cloth. Width: Approximately 17cm (to the spout) Height: Approximately 22cm (to the handle) Weight: 1838g Holds approximately 1L. We try our best to measure carefully, but please forgive any slight errors. We hope you understand that this is a used item. Tetsubin are traditional crafts that color the modern Japanese lifestyle. They are useful for both practical use and appreciation. We hope you will cherish and enjoy it.
