This Japanese iron kettle, or tetsubin, is a traditional cast iron vessel revered for both its functional superiority and its artistic beauty. Unlike a teapot, it is designed for direct heat and is distinguished by its robust, often textured exterior, featuring intricate designs, and its exceptional ability to retain heat. A well-cared-for iron kettle is not just a kitchen tool but a durable, timeless work of art.
