Thank you for viewing. I am listing items that I have stored in my warehouse or purchased at antique fairs. AI-generated descriptions are used. Please use the images to judge authenticity for yourself as a reference. 1. This beautiful black iron kettle is a "shinnarigata kama" (a type of tea ceremony kettle) and was handmade by the renowned kama master, Masamitsu Kikuchi. Crafted using traditional techniques, this kettle plays an important role in tea ceremonies, bringing out the deep flavor of the tea. The wooden box is inscribed with the name of the kettle, making it a valuable item for collectors and tea ceremony enthusiasts. The simple yet refined design of the black kettle harmonizes with any tea room and creates an elegant atmosphere. This kettle, which embodies the spirit of the tea ceremony, is the perfect choice to make your tea time special. Pottery with age may have distortions, manufacturing flaws (kiln marks), or underfired areas (cracks). These are inherent characteristics, and are not specifically mentioned in the product description. Please carefully check the condition of the item in the images before purchasing.
