Lodge Associates Nambu Ironware Teapot 0.6L Turkish Blue ■Not for direct fire The very vibrant Turkish blue color is eye-catching. Lodge Associates is a Nambu ironware manufacturer in Iwate Prefecture that continues to take on new challenges while preserving tradition. This Nambu ironware brand is attractive for its sculptural beauty, which has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in NY, and its uncompromising approach to manufacturing. The inside is enameled. While it does not provide iron supplementation, it is easy to maintain daily, so even beginners can use it with ease. ■Handling Precautions Do not use it directly on a fire. Please use it only as a teapot. Do not use a microwave or dishwasher. A few years ago, I purchased several Lodge Associates teapots in different colors, and this Turkish blue one has been stored unused. I remember the purchase price was 11,000 yen. It seems the price has now increased to 16,500 yen. No box. I will carefully pack and ship it. I also enjoy using it as a tea and coffee server. It has high heat retention and a cute appearance, so tea time is enjoyable. I will sell it to someone who is looking for it.
