999 Sterling Silver Dragon Faircup
In the Tang imperial tea ceremony, the faircup served as the vessel of equal sharing, tea poured from pot to faircup and distributed in precise, generous measure to all guests. The 999 Sterling Silver Dragon Faircup elevates this ritual of communal harmony, its high-fired ceramic body wrapped in an S999 sterling silver exterior overlay hand-engraved with a bold dragon surging through waves of golden fire.
Key Features
- Material: High-fired ceramic with S999 sterling silver exterior overlay
- Capacity: 180ml
Artisan Craftsmanship
The dragon design on the S999 sterling silver exterior overlay of this faircup is executed in the bold, confident style of Tang imperial metalwork, where mythological creatures were rendered with a sense of coiled energy barely contained within the vessel's surface. Gold accents highlight the dragon's scales and the crest of its waves, creating a luminous contrast against the silver ground. The practical pour spout is shaped for a smooth, controlled distribution, honouring both the aesthetics and the function of a proper tea service.
Cultural Symbolism
The faircup is a vessel of deliberate equity: it holds the initial brew and releases it in equal measure to all cups on the table, embodying the Confucian virtue of fairness and the Daoist principle of balance. Paired with the dragon, the symbol of transformative power and imperial blessing, the faircup becomes a statement about the power of a shared table: that in tea, as in the court of the Tang, excellence is multiplied when it is generously shared.
The Perfect Gift
A distinguished gift for the tea host who brings ceremony and intentionality to the act of sharing, or for anyone who holds the values of fairness and generosity dear. The 180ml capacity accommodates a full gongfu serving for four to five cups, making it a centrepiece of any properly staged tea session.
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.
Poured with equal grace into every cup, the dragon's blessing reaches all who gather at this table.
