Jewelry case - Zodiac sign , Cow by Taihei-kiln

Elegance Imbued in Simple Colors

The Essence of Refined Kyoto Pottery

Crafted by Taihei Kiln, a renowned Kyoto pottery workshop that carries on the tradition of Kyoto and Kiyomizu ceramics, this series of small lidded boxes represents the zodiac signs with a unique design.

The warm ivory color is a traditional hue known as "Kōrai," inspired by East Asian pottery traditions.

Crafted using carefully selected clay and glaze by Taizo Hirano, the head of Taihei Kiln, the box features an ivory-like texture that radiates a luxurious feel.

The golden accents are made from high-purity gold materials, imparting a graceful and sophisticated luster to the piece.

The animal features are intricately sculpted using only ivory and shadows, showcasing a refined and thoughtful design.

This compact yet impactful box is perfect for storing accessories or precious items, offering both practicality and charm.

It also makes for a thoughtful gift, especially for someone celebrating their zodiac year.

 

Owner's Comment

Incense holders are traditionally used in tea ceremonies, but their elegant shape and hand-sized proportions make them a favorite for purposes beyond incense.

With its simple yet refined texture, it is also perfect for complementing home decor.
