999 Sterling Silver Lychee Tea Pot Set (Gift Box)
When the Tang emperor ordered fresh lychees delivered to the capital by relay horse, the fruit arrived already prepared for ceremony: cleaned, chilled and presented in lacquered boxes fit for imperial appreciation. The 999 Sterling Silver Lychee Tea Pot Set (Gift Box) aspires to this standard of presentation, its high-fired ceramic tea pot and two matching cups finished with an S999 sterling silver exterior overlay and porcelain inlays of hand-painted lychee motifs, presented in packaging worthy of the gift within.
Key Features
- Material: High-fired ceramic with S999 sterling silver exterior overlay
- Capacity: Tea Pot: 180ml / Tea Cups: 50ml each
Artisan Craftsmanship
The porcelain inlay panels on the S999 sterling silver exterior overlay of both the 180ml tea pot and the 50ml cups carry hand-painted lychee designs of exceptional chromatic richness: the fruit's red deepened to a luxurious jewel tone, the leaves a vibrant foil. The inlay technique, which combines the warmth of painted ceramic with the precision of a silver-set panel, is among the most demanding in the repertoire of Chinese tea ware craft. The gift box presentation is designed to be opened as an event in itself.
Cultural Symbolism
The gift box is not merely packaging for this set but an integral part of its meaning: in Tang imperial practice, the presentation of a gift was as carefully considered as the gift itself, the outer container communicating the giver's intention before the inner treasure was revealed. A gift in a refined box is a statement that the recipient is deserving of this level of consideration.
The Perfect Gift
The most complete gift offering in the Lychee collection: pot, cups and refined presentation combined. Exceptional for a wedding, a significant anniversary or any occasion where the gesture of giving is intended to be remembered as much as the gift itself. The Imperial Brocade Gift Box top-up is available to elevate the presentation further.
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.
From the court's relay horse to your recipient's hands: a gift of lychee, silver and the full weight of Tang devotion.
