Did you know that the traditional Japanese cast iron teapots (tetsubin) are also called “tekki” in Japanese? The Nambu region of northern Japan is where the art of casting became very popular; thanks to the great craftsmen who contibuted these numerous pieces of artworks. Because of the beauty of these cast iron teapots they have been produced for centuries in Japan. There are also other products that were casted and produced such as wind chimes,sukiyaki pans and rivets; although teapots are nothing comparable to the other products because of its quality and artistry.


The Authentic cast iron is called Iwachu Nambu tetsubin tea pot. This beautiful old tea pot shows a traditional Nambu tetsubin design, with textured upper surface and artistically tapered handle. This tea pot was made by the Iwachu company (the name is stamped under the spout) which was known as Japan’s premier makers of traditional cast ironware. This old pot have been used during the earlier years in Japan and as of today it is in very poor condition with marks, scratches and rust on the entire inner and outer surfaces. This can no longer be used for heating water, tea or sake but will only serve as a display due to its poor condition. This wonderful piece of art antique cast iron tea pot dates from the early to mid Japanese Showa period (1926-1989) and was acquired in the historic city of Shizuoka, Japan near the foot of Mt. Fuji.
