About Iwachu Japanese Artisan Iron Tetsubin Teardrop
Traditional Japanese tetsubin (iron teapots) were large vessels used centuries ago to heat water for tea and provide warmth and humidity in the home during the winter. Modern tetsubin are decidedly smaller in size to allow for steeping tea rather than heating water, with most shapes being carried over from antique designs. This tetsubin puts a thoroughly contemporary twist on traditional tetsubin shape and design with its graceful, flowing lines and handsome matte black finish. With the combination of thoughtful design and unmatched craftsmanship, this Iwachu pot was featured as a tea service vessel in the cafe of a world renowned modern art museum. Iwachu is one of the finest and most respected manufacturers of Japanese ironware, with a company history of over 100 years. Today, craftsmen at Iwachu pay respect to this tradition by infusing each product with skilled precision and detail throughout the entire manufacturing process. Much of the crafting process at Iwachu is still done by hand and strictly controlled by master craftsmen known as "Kamashi". At Iwachu, 15 years of apprenticehood is required to become a full-fledged craftsman and 30 to 40 years to become a "Kamashi". The superior quality, beauty and lasting durability of Iwachu products have earned them the worldwide reputation as the leading manufacturer of authentic Japanese tetsubin.
