Thank you for viewing. This is an unused iron kettle/teapot with a shogi (Japanese chess) pattern, made by Nanbu Kikusendo. The approximate size is 13cm in diameter and 7cm in height (excluding the handle). The interior is enameled, and there is no rust on either the exterior or interior. The understated shogi pattern and sharp design are excellent. Unlike the shiny appearance of recent products, this piece has the calm texture of cast iron. It is likely from the Showa 30s to 40s (1955-1975) era. Please consider it if you are interested. Please note that it is also for sale elsewhere, so please forgive us if it sells out.
