The brass handle is attached to the body by brass chrysanthemum knobs and small raised iron chrysanthemum holders. The brass lid surmounted by a tiny brass chrysanthemum finial; the kettle is raised on three tiny cast iron feet. Both Choshi are in overall very good condition and retain their wonder natural patina. One finial is slightly bent and loose.
