Jewelry case - Zodiac sign, Sheep by Taihei-kiln

Elegance Imbued in Simple Colors

The Essence of Kyoto Pottery, Refined

Crafted by the prestigious Taihei Kiln, renowned for its Kyoto and Kiyomizu ceramics, this series of small zodiac-themed lidded boxes carries on the rich tradition of Kyoto pottery craftsmanship.

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

Crafted from carefully selected clay and glazes by Taihei Kiln’s master potter, Taizo Hirano, the box has a luxurious, ivory-like texture that enhances its sophisticated feel.

The golden accents, which highlight the piece, are made from a high-purity gold material, adding a refined luster to the overall design.

With the ivory tones and delicate shadows, the animals' features are skillfully sculpted, showcasing an intricate design that emphasizes their form.

This small, yet striking box can be used to store accessories or treasured items, making it a meaningful and practical piece for everyday use.

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