Iwachu Japanese Iron Tetsubin Teapot, Gold/White

Centuries ago, Japanese artisans fashioned larger vessels to heat water for tea and provide warmth and humidity in homes during the winter. These vessels evolved into the iconic Japanese tetsubin (iron teapots) we know today. Without the aid of specialized machinery, these skilled craftsmen had to perform nearly every step of the manufacturing process, from preparing the molten iron to perfecting the final design details, entirely by hand.

Honoring this rich tradition, the artisans at Iwachu infuse each of their products with meticulous precision and attention to detail throughout the entire manufacturing process. Iwachu is one of the most revered and respected manufacturers of Japanese ironware, boasting a company history spanning over 100 years.

One of the oldest and most classic tetsubin designs is the hobnail pattern, favored by many for its simple yet striking beauty. The superior quality, aesthetic appeal, and enduring durability of Iwachu's offerings have earned them the global reputation as the leading producer of authentic Japanese tetsubin.

This particular 22-ounce tetsubin features a removable stainless steel infuser basket and an enamel-coated interior to prevent rust. Designed for infusing purposes only, this vessel should not be used directly on the stovetop.

The evolution of Japanese tetsubin from their historical origins as larger water-heating vessels speaks to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the nation's artisans. Centuries ago, these skilled hands were responsible for every aspect of the manufacturing process, from start to finish.

Today, the team at Iwachu carries on this legacy, meticulously crafting each tetsubin with the same level of precision and attention to detail. The result is a product of unparalleled quality, beauty, and durability that has solidified Iwachu's standing as the premier manufacturer of authentic Japanese ironware.

Whether used for infusing fragrant teas or simply as a stunning decorative piece, this Iwachu tetsubin exemplifies the enduring allure and timeless elegance of Japanese craftsmanship. Its classic hobnail design and functional features make it a cherished addition to any tea enthusiast's collection.

Made in Japan to the highest standards of quality, this Iwachu tetsubin is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and enduring artisanal traditions that have defined Japanese ironware for centuries.
