This Iron kettle was made by Tesshi Nagano, a leading tea ceremony potter of the Showa era and a living national treasure.

The waist is decorated with a delicate hail pattern, and the body, with its beautiful iron skin, is decorated with a design of four small sparrows resting on a reed branch.
This is a masterpiece that shows the extreme artistic spirit of an anthill artist who aspired to be a painter in his younger days.
