Description from the seller

This is an authentic Japanese antique iron Furo Gotoku, a traditional tea ceremony implement used with a furo (portable brazier).
The gotoku features a three-legged structure, designed to securely support a kettle over charcoal during the preparation of tea.

Crafted from solid iron, it shows a naturally aged patina developed over many years of use and storage, reflecting the wabi-sabi aesthetic valued in Japanese tea culture. The form is simple, functional, and well-balanced, making it not only a practical tea utensil but also an appealing decorative object.

Ideal for tea ceremony practitioners, collectors of Japanese antiques, or interior display, this piece embodies the quiet elegance and craftsmanship of traditional Japan.
