Description: A vintage Japanese Nambu cast iron brown ashtray and a custom-bundled miniature kettle-shaped water pourer. Miniature testsubin kettles are mostly used as ornaments, if not as paperweights, in recent years but have historically been used as water pourers to extinguish cigarettes in ashtrays or to dilute ink in Japanese calligraphy. Nambu Ironware (or Nambu tekki in Japanese) is a form of metalwork produced in Iwate Prefecture. It is a traditional craft that was first created in the middle of the Edo period (1603-1868). The name "Nambu Ironware" comes from the fact that it was first produced in the Nambu domain during the Edo period. *IMPORTANT*Your order will be shipped from Japan and may be subject to import taxes, fees, and customs duties, levied by the customs office of your country, and such fees vary according to the customs regulations there.
