๐ŸŽŽ This hand-cast Japanese iron trivet was likely crafted for use beneath a tetsubin (้‰„็“ถ) cast iron tea kettle, both to protect delicate surfaces and to elevate the kettle slightly during tea preparation or serving. The cutout design features a five-petal motif reminiscent of traditional Japanese family crests (kamon), though this example does not correspond directly to any specific clan emblem. Instead, it reflects a more generalized floral aesthetic often found in Japanese decorative arts.

Weighing 168 grams and measuring approximately 9 centimeters in diameter, this piece likely dates from the mid-Showa era (ๆ˜ญๅ’Œๆ™‚ไปฃ, 1926โ€“1989), possibly from the 1950s to 1970s. Its surface bears a rich, natural patina of light rust and wear from years of quiet service, but remains fully sound and ready for continued practical or decorative use.

While strongly rooted in Japanโ€™s tea culture, such trivets may also have served in everyday settings for hot pots, kettles, or braziersโ€”simple, functional items elevated by thoughtful craftsmanship and design.

Curated in Shizuoka City by Kurt Bell, this piece offers a quiet, tangible connection to Japanโ€™s living tradition of daily artistry and understated beauty.
