I honestly can’t quite believe I’m selling this one. Please send me pictures from its new home. This is one of my first tetsubin. Why I hope speaks for itself. Two detailed scenes: on one side, gulls flying lightly over rough seas. On the other, a goose gliding towards a stand of reeds. A finely crafted silver button to match, attached to a gracefully curved lid. Worn silver details on the handle that testify to well over a century of use.

This is a gong fu spout attached to a fairly large volume kettle. The volume is sufficient to support you in sidehandle brewing, but the pour will be slow. It will spin leaves beautifully in bowl tea, and will sustain you through long gong fu sessions without too many refills. The kettle itself is on the lighter side and so a smaller person need not worry about lifting it comfortably.
