This is an exquisitely crafted Japanese cast iron teapot, made from classic dark cast iron, giving it a substantial and weighty feel. The teapot's overall design mimics the shape of a tree stump, with the surface meticulously engraved with pine needles, branches, and an elegant crane motif. The details are vivid, symbolizing good fortune and longevity, and imbued with a strong sense of traditional Eastern aesthetics. The lid features a spherical knob for easy opening, and the spout is curved like a tree branch, harmonizing perfectly with the overall design. It is in excellent condition with no noticeable signs of use. The height measurement includes the handle.
