Japanese Showa Cast Iron Tetsubin Tea Kettle Pot Bamboo

Large Japanese cast iron tetsubin decorated on the front with a pattern of bamboo leaves. The lid has a globular form finial. It is marked at the side of the spout (see enlargement 3). Dark sheen to the cast iron. Appears to date from the mid-20th century. Measures about 9" to the top of the handle and 7 1/2" across to the tip of the spout. The handle moves slightly to either side and can stand up on its own. There is some rust evident in the interior.
