The Nambu Tetsubin iron kettle is a large vintage cast iron tea pot designed for authentic tea brewing and elegant display. This historic cookware unit features the distinctive Arare texture pattern, providing a unique tactile surface that enhances grip and heat distribution. Crafted in the 1960s by artisan Shun Rikyu, this Japanese metal pitcher serves as both a heavy duty kitchenware item and a collector home decor piece. Measuring approximately 8.7 inches high by 8.3 inches wide and weighing 2,900 grams, it offers ample capacity for traditional tea rituals while making a striking rustic statement.


This vintage water boiler is made from cast iron, which supplies minerals such as iron to the water, enriching flavor and health benefits.

Its solid construction and enduring design make it an ideal Asian boiling tool for daily use or special occasions.
