This is a Nizaemon tetsubin, a masterpiece of Nambu cast iron kettles. The small hail pattern, the horses, the spout, the handle, and the mini capacity of 900 cc are what tea specialists are dreaming of. The signature in the running script was that of the seventh generation of Koizumi, suggesting that the kettle was made in the mid-19th century.
南部鐵瓶翹楚,仁左衛門釜。 小霰紋配合駿馬圖,纖巧的咀和把,900 cc 的迷你容量,是茶藝師夢寐以求的神器。 行書款銘,是七代小泉之款,應為19世紀中期之作。
Capacity 容量: 900 cc
