Subject:Japanese Cast Iron Teapot
Posted By: Jemmie Wed, Jan 16, 2019 IP: 2601:648:8400:72d2:3
Hello all, I have two Japanese cast iron teapots which have markings on the bottoms. I am hoping someone might be able to translate the markings and perhaps Might help me date these pretty teapots. Thank you!
