999 Sterling Silver Gold Branches Tea Cup
Gold in the Tang imperial treasury was not merely a metal but a carrier of the court's most elevated intentions: vitality, blessing and the warmth of the yang force at its most concentrated. The 999 Sterling Silver Gold Branches Tea Cup brings this auric language to the hand, its high-fired ceramic body finished with an S999 sterling silver exterior overlay and elegantly engraved with gold-plated branches that arc across the silver surface in a design of restrained, luminous beauty.
Key Features
- Material: High-fired ceramic with S999 sterling silver exterior overlay
- Capacity: 70ml / 110ml
- Available in: 70ml Tea Cup, 110ml Tea Cup
Artisan Craftsmanship
The gold-plated branch motifs on the S999 sterling silver exterior overlay of this tea cup are applied with the deliberate care of Tang goldsmithing, where gold was used to create fine, organic forms against a silver or lacquer ground. Available in 70ml and 110ml sizes, both versions share the same quality of engraving and the same polished silver-and-gold surface, with the cup's smooth interior designed to present the tea's colour and fragrance in perfect clarity.
Cultural Symbolism
Branches without blossoms or leaves are the structural grammar of the living world: the skeleton of growth, the architecture of vitality. Gold branches carry the additional meaning of prosperity generated from inner strength, the wealth that grows from a rooted, upright life. In the Tang tradition, such imagery was chosen for gifts intended to inspire and encourage, a wish for flourishing in whatever the recipient undertook.
The Perfect Gift
An elegant gift in either size: the 70ml cup suits the dedicated gongfu practitioner; the 110ml suits the tea drinker who prefers a more generous serve. Both make distinguished gifts for Chinese New Year, for a new business venture or for anyone whose life is entering a phase of significant new growth.
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.
A gold branch reaching outward is an invitation to flourish: hold this cup and accept that invitation.
