999 Sterling Silver Dragon Tea Bowl Set
The dragon tea bowl has its roots in the highest echelons of Tang court ceremony, where bowls of exceptional scale and ornamentation were reserved for imperial audiences and the most formal tea rituals. The 999 Sterling Silver Dragon Tea Bowl Set brings this tradition to the contemporary tea table, its high-fired ceramic bodies clothed in S999 sterling silver exterior overlays and engraved with the dynasty's most potent symbol: the coiling imperial dragon amidst a sea of golden waves.
Key Features
- Material: High-fired ceramic with S999 sterling silver exterior overlay
- Capacity: 180ml / 250ml
Artisan Craftsmanship
Available in 180ml and 250ml capacities, these tea bowls are crafted from high-fired ceramic and wrapped in a hand-engraved S999 sterling silver exterior overlay that renders the dragon and its attendant waves with extraordinary detail. Gold highlights trace the edges of scale and crest, catching the light of the tea table with a warmth that recalls Tang gold lacquerwork. A matching tea plate is included in the set, providing a complete and coherent presentation that elevates the ceremony to its full formal potential.
Cultural Symbolism
The dragon's association with water, specifically with the nourishing rains that feed the harvest and the great rivers that sustain Chinese civilisation, makes it the most fitting of motifs for a tea vessel. Water that has passed through a vessel marked with the dragon carries an ancient symbolic blessing: the strength of the imperial beast, the abundance of the rains, the clarity of the mountain stream. These bowls are not merely containers for tea but vessels for cultural memory.
The Perfect Gift
A set of commanding presence for the collector, the dedicated gongfu practitioner or the individual who regards the tea ceremony as a form of living heritage. Exceptionally suited to formal New Year presentations or as a centrepiece gift for a wedding or significant anniversary.
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 Tang imperial courts to your tea table, the dragon tea bowl carries the weight of a dynasty and the warmth of a thousand ceremonies.
