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.
