Sophisticated Simplicity in Every Hue

— Taihei Kiln’s Exquisite Zodiac Lidded Ceramic Collection —

Taihei Kiln Zodiac Lidded Ceramic in ivory glaze

A Petite Masterpiece by Taihei Kiln, Kyoto, Japan

Taihei Kiln is a traditional pottery studio in Kyoto preserving the art of Kyo‑ware and Kiyomizu‑ware. This handmade ceramic series presents charming, palm‑sized lidded containers, each sculpted with one of the twelve zodiac animals in refined relief.

Elegant Ivory Glaze & Refined Gold Detail

The warm ivory finish—known as “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 without overpowering the design.

Zodiac Icons Sculpted by Light and Shadow

Without additional color, each animal’s character emerges through sculpted form and shadow. This minimalist approach highlights the artisan’s skill and the natural beauty of the ceramic surface.
