Japanes Vintage 1950s Tetsubin Style Miniature Brown Cast Iron Teapot, 2.5x3” Great vintage condition consistent with its age. Pictures are part of the description, please check them & let me know if you require additional ones. A finely cast miniature Japanese tetsubin-style teapot featuring a traditional hobnail (arare) texture and arched handle. Finished in a reddish-brown iron patina with subtle wear consistent with age, this small piece likely served as a decorative item or incense holder, rather than a functional teapot. The lid includes a single vent hole and fits snugly; the interior shows oxidization typical of vintage ironware. Notable Details: • A tetsubin (鉄瓶) is a traditional Japanese cast iron teapot or kettle, used for boiling water for tea. • Traditional arare (hobnail) surface for visual and tactile appeal • Miniature size, not suited for actual tea preparation • Cast iron construction with original handle and lid intact Dimensions: 2.5 x 3 in Weight: 6 oz Check my shop for more one-of-a-kind finds - happy to create custom bundle just for you & combine shipping!
