Title	Small kettle with handle
Description	Tetsubin are small iron kettles with an integral handle that can be used in a variety of more informal tea procedures. Rather than using a ladle (hishaku) to pour the hot water into the teabowl, the host lifts and pours water directly from the tetsubin. This tetsubin exhibits a low profile and a texture that contrasts with the smooth, raised leaf motif. The lid is integral to the design, and crafted to appear as if a freshly cut branch has fallen on the kettle.
