Sophisticated Simplicity in Every Hue

— Taihei Kiln’s Exquisite Zodiac Lidded Ceramic Collection —

Ivory‑glazed zodiac lidded ceramic from Taihei Kiln, Kyoto

Master Craftsmanship from Taihei Kiln, Kyoto, Japan

Taihei Kiln is a traditional pottery studio in Kyoto that continues the legacy of Kyo‑ware and Kiyomizu‑ware. This handmade ceramic collection features petite lidded vessels, each sculpted with one of the twelve zodiac animals in delicate relief.

Ivory “Kōrai” Glaze & Refined Gold Detail

The warm ivory finish—called “Kōrai”—is achieved through carefully selected clay and glaze, giving each piece a translucent, porcelain‑like sheen. Subtle gold accents, applied by hand, add a touch of luxury that enhances the overall elegance.

Zodiac Icons Sculpted by Form and Shadow

Each animal’s character emerges through sculpted form and subtle shadow—no additional color needed. This minimalist approach showcases the artisan’s skill and the pure beauty of the ceramic.
