Spartancrest Posted September 12, 2020 Report Posted September 12, 2020 I have been studing these cast reproductions for some time and untill now had no clue as to who made them. This one comes with the original [I hope!] box, any help in what the box says would be appreciated. Quote

There is a consortium of local producers of iron products who produce various goods for tourists: cooking tools, ash trays, wind chimes, teapots, etc. The consortium is called Nambu Tekki (南部鉄器). 2 Quote
Spartancrest Posted September 12, 2020 Author Report Posted September 12, 2020 Thank you very much for that information Steve. One mystery solved. They do make some excellent castings, in fact at times too good! Quote
