鉄瓶　なつめ

60年以上前に考案された「なつめ」。本体の厚みが2〜3ミリのため、他産地の鋳物製品と比較しても軽量ですが、容量は1.5リットルあり、来客時にも十分対応できます。鋳肌は漆焼き付け着色を施しているため、使いこむほどに艶が増し、深みのある色に変化していきます。滑らかな曲線が特徴のフォルムは、現代の生活空間にも溶け込むことから、時を経ても愛され続けています。

This iron kettle, named "Natsume," was designed by the founder of the studio and has been loved by users for more than 60 years. The lightness of the product is realized by adhering to thin-wall casting. This plain iron kettle highlights the beauty of the casting surface. In addition, the product is not a commonly used "hiramaru (round and flat)" type iron kettle and is long vertically. These features allow the product to fit any scene or situation. As the spout is also made manually for each piece, the product pours well, and hot water dripping is easily controlled. Thus, the product is easy to use for everyone. It can be used with any heat source, including an IH cooking heater.
