"Sake Tetsubin (tanbin)
Material: Iron
Capacity: 750ml (about)
The original purpose of the style of kettle was to heat sake. 
The sake would be placed in a carafe, and then placed into the iron kettle. For us tea drinkers, it will serve us just fine for preparing high quality water.
This kettle is in great shape. The inside is coated with urushi lacquer and there is a little bit of rust. This is very common and can be removed. We can even help you with that!
In fact, the lacquer coating can be burned out as well if you prefer to have a raw iron (which we also offer as a service)
This kettle is super affordable and has a beautiful shape.
