999 Sterling Silver Jade Leaf Tea Cup
Jade in the Tang dynasty was the stone of heaven, its translucent greens and whites the closest earthly approximation of the celestial realm. The 999 Sterling Silver Jade Leaf Tea Cup places jade at the heart of the vessel, a luminous jade inlay in the shape of a graceful leaf set within a high-fired ceramic body finished with an S999 sterling silver exterior overlay, the stone's cool radiance met by the warmth of the clay beneath.
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 jade leaf inlay in this tea cup is set with precision into the S999 sterling silver exterior overlay, the stone's natural colour providing a vibrant accent against the silver ground. Available in 70ml and 110ml capacities, both cups are high-fired for exceptional durability, the interplay of stone, silver and ceramic reflecting the Tang craftsman's mastery of mixed-material artistry. The polished interior of the cup presents the tea's colour with perfect fidelity, the jade above and ceramic below framing the visual experience of the brew.
Cultural Symbolism
Jade's symbolism in Chinese culture is perhaps the most profound of any material: it carries associations of virtue, righteousness, longevity and the soul's journey after death. The leaf form of the inlay adds the symbolism of renewal and connection to the living world, the jade leaf a permanent reminder of nature's cycles and the Daoist principle that all things are part of a greater harmony. To drink from a jade-touched cup is to receive that harmony into the body.
The Perfect Gift
A meaningful gift for any occasion marked by transition, new beginnings or a wish for long life and good health. Particularly resonant for birthdays marking significant years, graduations or milestones where the themes of growth, renewal and virtue are appropriate. In either size, it speaks a language of considered, lasting beauty.
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.
In the jade leaf's quiet glow, the earth's eternal virtue passes from stone to hand to heart.
