Tea kettles so perfect I’m swooning.
PingMag MAKE features an article on Kikuchi Hojudo, who make the most beautiful cast-iron tea kettles I’ve ever seen.
It’s a fascinating interview (punctuated by many lovely photos) with the president of the foundry, who says Kikuchi Hojudo was founded during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (c. late 16th century). Go see!
I love PingMag MAKE. They feature some of the most interesting things there. These teapots have just the most perfect shape!
