Vintage Japanese Nanbu Tekki Cast Iron Kettle

This is a vintage Japanese miniature Nambu tekki cast iron kettle, or Tetsubin. It has a dotted "arare" pattern throughout with a simple handle. The handle is movable and there is a removable aluminum strainer insert for tea leaves. 
Tetsubin began to be used in tea ceremonies in the late Edo period. Efficacy: Boiling water in an iron kettle makes the water milder and tastier, as well as providing iron to nourish the body.
