Branding Iron in Japan - Add to - Increase

This is a vintage branding iron called a yakiin. These were/are used on wood, leather...food...anything you want to brand. Please see the last picture to see an example of how it can be used. I think they would look fabulous if used in pottery as a stamp. Please look at the pictures carefully It measures about 20 cm long x 2 cm (the stamp) wide.
