A while ago I received an old tetsubin from a dear friend of mine. She
got that little pot from her mother, who got it from an uncle who
picked it up somewhere in Japan in the late 19th century. There´s
nothing too special about this little pot, no stampings, markings,
inscriptions or anything of that kind, but at least it shows no signs
of rust.
Right now it´s placed on display among my collection of antique
teawares but I´m wondering if anyone on this esteemed group is using
an unglazed tetsubin on a regular basis ???
