Nambu Tekki Iwachu Iron Kettle, Teapot, Iron Supplement, Cherry Blossom Pattern, 1.8L, Direct Fire & IH Compatible

This is a medium-sized iron kettle with a cherry blossom pattern covering its surface, stored unused for a long time on a display shelf at my parents' home. It's a charming piece where the solid feel characteristic of ironware blends beautifully with the softness of the floral design. It is unused and has been stored for a long time. While there may be some minor scuffing on the bottom or slight rust, it is a highly recommended, excellent iron kettle that is virtually unused.

Size (approximate measurements):
• Height (including handle): approx. 22cm
• Height (to top of lid): approx. 14cm
• Diameter of body: approx. 22cm

*To prevent rust, after pouring boiling water into the hot kettle, remove the lid. The residual moisture in the kettle will evaporate with the residual heat, allowing it to dry naturally. Alternatively, after use, you can dry the water inside the using the residual heat from an electric kettle's panel (only after the power has been turned off). This effectively prevents rust.
If rust has formed, thoroughly remove the rusted areas with a soft brush, then boil strong tea and repeat this process several times. You can also remove rust using rice bran water, vinegar, cut onions, potato slices, or daikon radish soaked in a little salt.

*Please note that there may be an error of about 1cm-3cm due to different measurement methods.
*Images: Product images may appear different in color from the actual product due to lighting conditions or your viewing environment (e.g., computer screen). Please be aware of this in advance.
