About the Item
A rare and exceptional piece, this giant 17th-century Dim Sum steamer embodies the rich culinary heritage of Yum Cha, the traditional Chinese tea-drinking ritual. Originally, Dim Sum—delicate, bite-sized delicacies—were enjoyed by Silk Road travelers stopping at teahouses for rest and refreshment. Over time, this steaming technique became an integral part of Chinese gastronomy, with the stackable bamboo or wooden steamers allowing multiple dishes to be prepared simultaneously.
Measuring 73 cm in width and 87 cm in height, this steamer stands out not only for its impressive scale but also for its beautifully aged patina, a testament to centuries of use. Whether displayed as a statement piece or incorporated into a curated collection, this steamer is a true collector’s item, merging history, functionality, and artistry.
