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