In hopes of brightening up the mealtime of the modern age, LUCKY 12, a set of 12 vessels, was created in the motif of the zodiac animal talismans that can be used to drink, eat or decorate. These vessels were created by employing clay used for “hakuji” (white porcelain), which is considered the highest grade of Mino ware, and by pouring metal into a mold known as the “ikomi” technique. The vessels are durable and safe, and are hard to break even if you drop them. You will start feeling attached to the one featuring your zodiac animal the more you use it. We recommend using LUCKY 12 as a sake cup for special occasions such as the New Year, or as a figurine to decorate the room for everyday use.
