Elegance Reflected in Simple Colors

— The Essence of Kyoto pottery, Teihei Kiln’s Zodiac Lidded Box —

Teihei Kiln Zodiac Lidded Box

A Small Masterpiece from the Renowned Teihei Kiln of Kiyomizu Ware

Teihei Kiln, a respected name in traditional Kyoto ceramics, carries on the heritage of handmade Japanese pottery.

This delicate series of small ceramic lidded boxes is inspired by the twelve animals of the zodiac.

Though compact enough to fit in your hand, each piece showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail synonymous with Japanese tradition.

Zodiac Lidded Box by Teihei Kiln

Graceful Aesthetic of Kōrai Color and Gold Decoration

The warm ivory tone draws from the classic “Kōrai” color palette, a hallmark of Kyoto’s ceramic artistry.

Head potter Taizo Hirano selects premium clay and glaze to achieve an ivory-like finish that exudes luxury.

High-purity gold accents add a subtle yet refined shine, elevating the overall elegance of each handmade piece.

Each animal’s expression and posture are brought to life solely through sculptural form and shadow—no added color needed.

The three-dimensional texture highlights the meticulous, traditional craftsmanship of every piece.
