Subject:Need help translating Japanese mark on cast iron pot
Posted By: Roger Sun, Jun 20, 2021 IP: 2601:281:c202:b68a:e
Hi All,
Here's an old teapot which is quite large and very heavy. There is signature mark on the inside of the lid. I would greatly appreciate any help or information on this teapot. Thank you!
