999 Sterling Silver Dragon Cup Holder
In Tang imperial iconography, the dragon guarded the emperor's treasures, its coiled form engraved upon vessels, armour and jade. The 999 Sterling Silver Dragon Cup Holder brings this regal guardian to the tea table, its high-fired ceramic form dressed in an S999 sterling silver exterior overlay alive with hand-engraved dragon motifs and rolling waves that pulse with mythological energy.
Key Features
- Material: High-fired ceramic with S999 sterling silver exterior overlay
Artisan Craftsmanship
The S999 sterling silver exterior overlay of this cup holder is hand-engraved with the dragon's coiled body and the waves that bear it, the contrast of the dragon's fiery accents against the silver ground recalling the painted battle silks of Tang court processionals. The high-fired ceramic base provides stability and weight, holding your tea cup securely in a setting of considerable distinction. Each engraved scale and claw is rendered with the patience and precision of a master silversmith.
Cultural Symbolism
The dragon in Chinese culture is the supreme symbol of imperial authority, strength, transformation and good fortune. Water dragons in particular are associated with rain, the harvest and the life-giving powers of great rivers. To place one's tea cup upon a dragon holder is to situate the tea ritual within this cosmological framework: the cup becomes an imperial vessel, the tea a drink of celestial blessing.
The Perfect Gift
A statement piece for the collector's tea table or a gift of unmistakable cultural significance. For Chinese New Year, the dragon symbolises the year's strength and abundance; for a housewarming or corporate gift, it speaks of protection and prosperous beginnings. Paired with the Dragon Tea Cup or Dragon Faircup, it completes a set of extraordinary coherence.
Imperial Brocade Gift Box
For those who wish to present this piece in a manner befitting its heritage, the Imperial Brocade Gift Box is available as a top-up of $32.80. Inspired by the richly patterned brocade silks of the Tang imperial court, the box elevates every gifting occasion into a ceremony of its own, enveloping the piece in layers of cultural symbolism and regal presentation.
Where the dragon rests, fortune gathers. Let every cup be cradled in its watchful grace.
