Japanese cast-iron kettles (Tetsubin) typically have a pouring spout, a lid, and a handle crossing over the top. They are traditionally heated over charcoal for boiling and pouring hot water for drinking purposes, such as for making tea. They range from plain to elaborately decorated making them quite collectable.
