Cast Iron Saucer

This cast iron saucer was made in the style of Nambu Tekki, a type of ironware made in Iwate Prefecture, located in north-eastern Japan and known for its harsh winter climate. The style of Nambu Tekki has a 300-year history, during which it has developed in quality and design. Featuring excellent durability and simple design, this saucer can be used as an elegant complement to your teacups and small snacks. The iron material conducts heat slowly to keep table tops safe and reduces the risk of teacups sticking to the saucer.

Dry thoroughly after washing to avoid potential rust stains on surfaces.

Size: W11.2 cm x H1 cm x Ø8.3 cm

Chūbu

The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
