Handmade. One of a Kind.
Every Taichi Candle vessel is 100% handmade. This means that while our designs are consistent, no two pieces are ever perfectly identical.
Our artisans control every step, from shaping the clay and carving the form, to hand-painting the design.
The Artist's Touch. In Every Detail.
Each vessel is carved by hand—a process of immense time and patience. The calligraphy is not machine-printed; it is the authentic, handwritten work of a collaborating Chinese calligrapher. The color is not a single coat; it is built up in delicate layers, sprayed by hand to achieve a unique depth and texture.
These details are our promise of quality and a reminder that you are holding something truly one-of-a-kind.
One Vessel. One Method.
Our artisan assesses the unique form and character of every piece, deciding whether a swift dip or the patient, layered strokes of a brush will best bring it to life.
This creates beautiful, unrepeatable results: the subtle variations in thickness, the organic way the glaze flows, and even the faint trace of a brushstroke. These are not flaws. They are the warmth of the human touch—a story of individuality that no machine can ever imitate.
Quality over Quantity.
Each Taichi Candle must meet an uncompromising standard, a goal that cannot be rushed by a larger team or a faster process.
This commitment to excellence means that our output is naturally limited. It is not a choice to produce less; it is the honest result of a process where every detail is honored. This means some of our more complex styles may only yield a few finished pieces each month.
Thank you for valuing the true craftsmanship that simply cannot be hurried.
The Perfect 40%. Chosen for You.
The firing process that follows is brutal—a 60% failure rate is our reality.
We don't fix flaws. We discard the entire piece.
This is our commitment. Only the perfect 40% are rigorously selected to become a Taichi Candle.
