This iron kettle has a grape motif, which is a symbol of fertility. Grapes are a symbol of fertility and prosperity, and have been used as a motif on iron kettles since ancient times. Since grapes bear many fruits in clusters, they have been considered a lucky charm since ancient times as a symbol of fertility and prosperity. The pattern is made with 「Itome」. The beautifully simple 「Itome」 pattern is a traditional pattern that has been handed down since ancient times. The thin, beautiful line pattern, which imitates itome, symbolizes the world of the tea ceremony and the Japanese sense of beauty. The rim of the lid is also decorated with the itome patterns. The inside is finished with a rust-resistant finish using the traditional 「kama-yaki」 technique. Kamayaki is done by firing the tetsubin in a high-temperature oven. This process forms an oxide film on the surface of the tetsubin. The oxide film stabilizes the iron content of the tetsubin. The flavor of boiled water is improved and rust and corrosion are prevented. Rust-proofing by kettle firing is a traditional technique that has been handed down since ancient times. The handle is fixed. Large capacity 2L large cast iron kettle. It is ideal for boiling a large amount of water at once or for making tea.
