Suzuki Shuzendo Fuji-shaped and Double-horse Pattern Kettle
Made by the century-old Nambu workshop "Suzuki Shuzendo," this tetsubin is not only precious but also has many valuable features.
First, the inscription "Shuzendo Suzuki-made (主善堂鈴木造) " is inscribed. The last three generations of Suzuki Shuzendo (the eleventh and thirteenth generations) used the three characters "Chubei (忠兵衛) " in cursive script as their inscription. Before that, they used "Nambu Suzuki-made (南部鈴木造)" . This "Shuzendo Suzuki-made" seal is even older.
Nambu iron kettles often feature horses as decoration. This kettle features not only twin horses but also Mount Fuji, making it especially rare.
Third, Fuji-shaped kettles with a small capacity are rare. This one holds approximately 1,000 cc of water, which is rarely fpound.
出自南部百年工房「鈴木主善堂」，光這條件已夠矜貴了，但此作品還有其他珍貴之處。
首先是款銘「主善堂鈴木造」，鈴木主善堂近三代 (十一及十三代)用草書「忠兵衛」三字為銘，之前則用「南部鈴木造」，而這個「主善堂鈴木造」的印，則會更早。
