999 Sterling Silver Lion Ceramic Teapot
The Tang dynasty court lion, often depicted in painted ceramic and bronze, was a creature of noble bearing: powerful, watchful and beneficent, its presence at the gate of a palace or temple a guarantee of protection and distinguished order. The 999 Sterling Silver Lion Ceramic Teapot brings this regal guardian to the tea ceremony, its high-fired ceramic body dressed in an S999 sterling silver exterior overlay painted with a bold lion design in vibrant red and blue.
Key Features
- Material: High-fired ceramic with S999 sterling silver exterior overlay
- Capacity: 150ml
Artisan Craftsmanship
The lion design on the S999 sterling silver exterior overlay of this ceramic teapot is executed with the chromatic boldness and fine anatomical detail of Tang court painting, where lions were depicted with a majesty that conveyed their symbolic weight as much as their natural power. The red and blue palette creates a vivid contrast against the silver ground, the design commanding attention without sacrificing the compositional balance that makes this tea pot a pleasure to use as well as to behold. The 150ml capacity is precisely sized for intimate gongfu service.
Cultural Symbolism
The lion was adopted into Chinese culture along the Silk Road during the Tang dynasty, arriving as a gift to the imperial court from Persian and Central Asian kingdoms, and quickly acquiring deep symbolic resonance. A lion on a tea vessel guards the ceremony within and blesses the tea shared at the table. The lion speaks of the Tang's cosmopolitan confidence: a culture secure enough to absorb the symbols of distant worlds and make them its own.
The Perfect Gift
A bold and culturally rich gift for anyone who admires the Tang dynasty's cosmopolitan spirit, or who values strength, nobility and protection as the qualities they wish to communicate through a gift. The 150ml capacity suits the dedicated gongfu practitioner, and the commanding lion design makes it a piece that earns its place in any collection.
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.
The lion guards the threshold of the tea ceremony: enter with intention, and pour with confidence.
