Iron Kettle, Antique, Tea Ceremony Utensil, Teapot, Retro, Vintage, *Rust inside*

Thank you for looking!

This is an iron kettle with a simple yet substantial design that evokes a sense of history.
You can see the characters 南部 (Nanbu) and a square-like stamp on the lower part of the body. (Please check the photos.)
The knob on the lid, shaped like a pinecone, is also charming and adds to its character.

[Condition] *Please read carefully*
The exterior has scuffs and iron-specific discoloration due to age, giving it a nice vintage atmosphere. However, the interior has significant red rust throughout. (See photos)

Water leakage has not been tested.
As it is currently, it is likely not suitable for practical use (boiling water). Therefore, we are looking for someone who can perform maintenance such as rust removal and iron conditioning themselves, or someone who can use it as an interior decoration, vase, or for appreciating as a tea ceremony object.

We kindly ask that only those who understand the condition of this item as a junk item/antique collectible purchase it.

Please refer to the images.

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment.
Thank you!
