Japanese cast iron teapot (known as tetsubin or tetsukyusu when enameled inside) with a raised coin or "ancient coin" design and a copper finish. These teapots are often made in the Nanbu region of Japan, by manufacturers like Iwachu or Kotobuki, and feature an enamel lining to prevent rust. 

Material: Specially purified cast iron, which is symbolic of strength and unity in Japanese culture.

Design Motif: The raised coin motifs resemble ancient Japanese or Chinese coins and are a popular design that symbolizes prosperity.

Finish: The teapot has a textured, dark body with a distinct copper finish highlighting the raised details.

Usage: These items are functional for brewing and serving tea, as cast iron is excellent at retaining heat. Comes with a removable stainless steel mesh infuser.

Care Note: Teapots with an enameled interior should not be used on a stovetop flame. Heat water separately before brewing tea to ensure enamel is not damaged.

Pre-owned with no notable flaws.
