999 Sterling Silver Persimmon Tea Cup
The persimmon's rich orange-red, ripening in autumn after the harvest season, was among the most beloved of Tang seasonal motifs: a fruit that waited for the year's fullest maturity before revealing its deepest colour and sweetest flavour. The 999 Sterling Silver Persimmon Tea Cup brings this autumnal richness to the tea table in concentrated form, its high-fired ceramic body dressed in an S999 sterling silver exterior overlay with a porcelain inlay of hand-painted persimmons glowing with the warmth of the season.
Key Features
- Material: High-fired ceramic with S999 sterling silver exterior overlay
- Capacity: 40ml
Artisan Craftsmanship
The porcelain inlay panel on the S999 sterling silver exterior overlay of this tea cup depicts persimmons with the textural fidelity of a Tang botanical painting: the fruit's smooth, faceted skin catching light like a polished stone, the stem and calyx rendered with precise, controlled brushwork. At 40ml, this is a tasting cup, and the care of its craftsmanship is appropriate to that function: every detail is resolved to serve the focused, appreciative eye of a drinker who gives their full attention to the vessel as well as the brew.
Cultural Symbolism
The persimmon in Chinese culture carries a play on words that makes it one of the most favoured of auspicious motifs: shi, the persimmon, sounds like shi, meaning affairs or matters, and the fruit in multiples represents the wish that all matters turn out well. An autumnal persimmon also evokes maturity, patience and the reward that follows long cultivation: the sweetness that only comes to the fruit that has waited for its moment.
The Perfect Gift
A particularly resonant gift for autumn birthdays, year-end occasions, or for anyone in a waiting period of life who deserves the reminder that the sweetest rewards come to those who are patient. The 40ml tasting cup format makes it an intimate, considered gift.
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 autumn, patience ripens into sweetness. In every cup, the persimmon reminds us to wait well.
