Cast Iron Teapot — Japanese Orchid & Crab Relief Tetsubin 1200ml

Cast from pig iron using the ancient lost wax method and finished through a complex 70-step handcrafted process, this teapot is as much a work of art as it is a brewing vessel. Elegant orchid reliefs flow across the body with subtle gilded accents, while a charming small crab perches on the surface — lively, playful, and full of character. More than 400 years of traditional casting craftsmanship are embedded in every curve and detail. Use it daily, display it proudly, or gift it to someone who appreciates the rare intersection of art and function.
