999 Sterling Silver Wish Tea Pot Set

The fullest expression of the wishing ceremony in Tang tradition was a complete set: pot and cup matched in colour and intent, the host's wish contained in every element of the service from the first fill to the last sip. The 999 Sterling Silver Wish Tea Pot Set assembles this completeness, pairing the 150ml Wish Tea Pot with a matching 125ml tea cup in either the Purple Set or Yellow Set, both pieces dressed in S999 sterling silver exterior overlays painted with delicate floral motifs in their respective colours.

Key Features

• Material: High-fired ceramic with S999 sterling silver exterior overlay
• Capacity: Tea Pot: 150ml / Tea Cup: 125ml
• Available in: Purple Set, Yellow Set

Artisan Craftsmanship

The visual unity of the Wish Tea Pot Set is achieved through the consistent application of the floral design across both the pot's and the cup's S999 sterling silver exterior overlays, the gilded accents of the flowers providing a warm continuity from vessel to vessel. The pot's 150ml capacity and the cup's generous 125ml size create a pairing that suits a ceremony of unhurried attention: one pot, one cup, one long afternoon of wishing well. The high-fired ceramic bodies beneath ensure the set's durability for daily or ceremonial use.

Cultural Symbolism

A matched set in a specific colour is a complete statement of intention: the purple set for the person whose flourishing is best described in terms of spiritual, intellectual or artistic aspiration; the yellow set for the person whose flourishing is best described in terms of vitality, abundance and the warmth of positive energy. The cup's generous 125ml size suggests a wish that is not rationed but given in full measure, with the openhandedness of the Tang court's most generous gestures.

The Perfect Gift

A complete wishing ceremony in gift form, the set is ideal for a significant occasion where the giver's intention is to communicate a specific, personalised aspiration for the recipient's life. The choice of colour allows the gift to be tailored to the recipient's character and the giver's deepest wish for them.

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.

A complete wish: purple for the soul's aspiration, yellow for the body's vitality. Give either, give both, give the ceremony of having wished well.
