【Rare - Contains Iron Sand?】Large Tea Kettle, Brazier Kettle, Iron Kettle with Ring and Wooden Lid, Antique

Thank you for viewing.

This is a large, heavy tea kettle (furogama) being listed as part of a storage room clean-out.

■ Features: Magnetic Properties (Potential for Rare Iron Sand Content)
This kettle has a unique property: it weakly reacts to a magnet (slightly sticks).
Unlike common Japanese iron or iron kettles, it may have been cast with a significant amount of rare iron sand. Iron sand kettles are prized by tea ceremony practitioners for their rust resistance and the mellow taste of the boiled water.

■ Design and Size
The body features delicate patterns, and the patina of verdigris and rust from age lends it a deep antique charm. The handles (tsuba) are a very large 38cm, giving it an outstanding presence in a tokonoma or tea room.

・Accessories: Wooden lid, kettle ring (kamakan)
・Material: Iron (magnetic)
・Size (approximate):
　　Maximum width (handles): 38.0cm
　　Height (excluding lid): 23.0cm
　　Mouth diameter: 14.0cm
*Please allow for slight errors due to amateur measurements.
