Crafted from durable cast iron, this antique sake pot features a lacquered lid adorned with the Myoga crest design, symbolizing unseen divine protection. Measuring 5.5 inches in height, 7.1 inches in width, and 5.1 inches in depth (approximately 14cm × 18cm × 13cm), and weighing 21.3 ounces (605 grams), it offers a perfect balance of size and weight for comfortable handling during ceremonial or casual sake servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Japanese metal craft piece is not a vintage iron kettle for boiling water but a hot sake server that can be gently warmed over charcoal in a hibachi brazier to enhance the drinking experience.
