An original Japanese teapot for preparing water during the tea ceremony.
Volume 1.4 liters.
The material is cast iron.
Decorated with a relief image of a sail over a junk flying along the waves.
Jonka is a traditional Chinese sailing vessel. The sail personifies purity and flight, striving forward, the ability to overcome obstacles. Seagulls over the ship are a symbol of freedom and independence.
As part of the tea ceremony tetsubin (the so-called water kettle), a small brazier is heated over a burning coal, but nowadays, electric stoves are increasingly used. In such a kettle, the water is saturated with iron during the heating process and provides a natural source of iron for our body. In addition, cast iron retains heat for a long time.
Important:
A cast iron kettle requires extra attention and special care. Cast iron is susceptible to rust. Therefore, after each use, it must be calcined until the moisture completely disappears. Store in a dry place.
