Cast Iron Tetsubin Water Kettle Choroju

An iron kettle full of wabi-sabi sensibilities that embodies an ancient beauty.  It is a new piece designed to resemble one used for many years. Each piece is crafted by hand from a single sand-cast mold, where the intricate design and texture are pressed into place. The kettle-making process revolves entirely around the mold, utilizing tools and stamps passed down through generations, ensuring a touch of traditional artistry in every modern piece. The mold is then expertly formed and designed before molten iron is poured in, left to cool and solidify for several days, and finally freed from its sand womb. Due to the high demand for Morihisa tetsubin, there is a waitlist of 2-3 years, making our selection the largest available for immediate.

*When placing the kettle on the stove, using the smallest burner, keeping the flame on medium/low to avoid flames climbing up the sides and leaving marks on the kettle.
