This is a flower vase in the shape of a cast iron teapot, a traditional craft of Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture, known as "Nambu Tekki." It has a solid weight and a unique texture, making it a beautiful piece. The surface is decorated with the traditional "Arare (hailstone) pattern," giving it a presence while maintaining an elegant appearance. It is recommended as a flower vase, interior decoration, or even as a tea utensil. This is an old item from my parents' home, but I believe it is in good condition. I have stored and handled it with care, but as it is a personal inspection, there is a possibility that I may have overlooked minor scratches or stains. Please check and assess the condition in the photos. To avoid any problems, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive to imperfections. 【Size】 Diameter: Approximately 18cm Height: Approximately 12cm *Please understand that there may be some slight errors due to amateur measurements. This is a gem recommended for those who love traditional crafts and modern Japanese interiors, and for those looking for Nambu Tekki.
