999 Sterling Silver Peony Tea Cup
In Tang imperial gardens, the peony was the undisputed queen of flowers, its abundant blooms a symbol of the dynasty's confident wealth and the beauty it cultivated with such deliberate care. The 999 Sterling Silver Peony Tea Cup places this regal flower at the heart of the tea ceremony, its high-fired ceramic body finished with an S999 sterling silver exterior overlay delicately painted with peony motifs in vibrant colour.
Key Features
- Material: High-fired ceramic with S999 sterling silver exterior overlay
- Capacity: 85ml / 100ml
- Available in: 85ml Tea Cup, 100ml Tea Cup
Artisan Craftsmanship
The peony painting on the S999 sterling silver exterior overlay of this tea cup is executed with the layered, chromatic richness of Tang court flower painting, where peonies were depicted with a fullness of petal and a depth of colour that communicated the flower's symbolic weight as much as its physical beauty. Available in 85ml and 100ml capacities, both versions carry the same quality of painted detail, their polished interiors presenting the tea's colour in perfect contrast to the vivid exterior design.
Cultural Symbolism
The peony carries among the most unequivocal of Chinese floral symbolisms: it speaks directly of wealth, distinction and the good fortune that attaches to those who cultivate beauty with care and discernment. In Tang culture, the peony was the emblematic flower of the capital and the court, its cultivation a statement of imperial taste and its gifting a token of the highest favour. To drink from a peony-adorned cup is to receive the flower's wish of prosperity with every sip.
The Perfect Gift
A gift that speaks directly of the wish for the recipient's flourishing: their wealth of spirit, their distinction of character, their prosperity of life. Suited to almost any celebratory occasion, the peony cup in either 85ml or 100ml is a daily gift that brings a moment of Tang imperial luxury to the morning tea ritual.
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.
