Japanese Meiji period cast iron tetsubin with a textured globular form body and coppery bronze lid with a brass openwork bud form finial signed with the Ryubundo shop name. Two tiny gilt inlay spots are visible on the upright handle. 19th century. About 8 3/4” high to top of handle x 7” across. Very good overall condition with minor rust to the interior and base. Remnants of a metallic sparkly material line the interior. There are shadows on the handle indicating evidence of inlay that has worn off. From a Scottsdale, Arizona estate.
