Sophisticated Simplicity in Every Hue

— Taihei Kiln’s Exquisite Zodiac Lidded Ceramic Collection —

Crafted by Taihei Kiln, Masters of Kyoto Pottery

Rooted in the heart of Kyoto, Taihei Kiln continues the traditional Japanese pottery heritage of Kyo‑ware and Kiyomizu‑ware. Each handmade ceramic lidded container in this series features one of the twelve zodiac animals, expertly sculpted in delicate relief.

Elegant Ivory Glaze & Refined Gold Accents

The warm ivory finish—known as “Kōrai”—is achieved through meticulously selected clay and glaze, giving each piece a translucent, porcelain-like sheen. Subtle gold detailing, made from high-purity gold, adds a touch of luxury without overpowering the design.

Zodiac Icons in Sculpted Relief

Without adding extra color, each animal’s form comes to life through precise molding and shadow play. This minimalist approach highlights the artisan’s skill and lends a timeless elegance to every piece—cherished by collectors in Japan and around the world.

A Charming Decorative Accent & Thoughtful Gift

Use this petite lidded container to store small treasures—like jewelry, incense, or keepsakes—or display it as a piece of art. Compact yet striking, it makes a thoughtful gift tied to the recipient’s zodiac sign.
