Tetsubin are made of heavy cast iron, and were
used to heat water for tea. They have fitted bronze or iron lids and come
in various shapes with designs of animals, birds, nature scenes and
calligraphy.
Choshi sake pots were used to warm traditional Japanese rice wine, have a characteristic straight sided
spout and copper lids and handles.
