Large Tetsubin

This classic teapot is made from sturdy iron. The body is cast with a bamboo design. Bamboo symbolizes endurance and perseverance in the traditional Japanese culture. Cast ironware heats evenly, retains heat well and is praised worldwide for beauty, strength, and superb quality.

During the mid 19th century as infused tea drinking became more popular in Japan, “tetsubin" or cast iron teapots evolved from being a kitchen item to a status symbol. Many nobles cherish their teapots like treasures and are kept in the family for generations.
