The original box is labelled 干支香合 (Eto Kōgō), meaning a “zodiac incense container,” a type of small ceramic object often created for seasonal tea gatherings and New Year celebrations. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe piece is finished in the style of Kōrai seiji (高麗青磁), the Japanese term for celadon inspired by the celebrated green-glazed ceramics of Korea’s Goryeo period. A soft, translucent pale turquoise-blue glaze covers the rounded body, with delicate natural crackling (kannyū \/ 貫入) across the surface. The rooster’s comb is highlighted in a gentle pink tone, while lightly modelled feathers, eyes and facial details give the small sculpture a playful yet refined character. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts rounded two-part construction cleverly transforms the bird into a functional incense container, with the upper body forming the lid. A pottery seal is impressed on the underside. The subtle variations in the celadon glaze and the visible crackle pattern give the piece the quiet, time-worn beauty especially appreciated in Japanese tea ceramics. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the Japanese tea ceremony, a kōgō is used to hold small pieces of incense during the charcoal procedure. Zodiac-shaped kōgō are particularly appropriate for New Year tea gatherings (Hatsugama) or displays connected with the corresponding zodiac year. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize: 6 x 6 x 6cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58478317535563,"sku":"TB415","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_412b99e3-0541-4f3c-a7db-026641e06d60.jpg?v=1789476381","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/fr\/products\/tb415-rooster-korai-seiji-kogo-%e9%ab%98%e9%ba%97%e9%9d%92%e7%a3%81","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
