Jue (vessel)

Jue (vessel)

A "Jue" is a bronze tripod goblet or beaker used to serve or warm wine. It was used for ceremonial purposes by the Chinese of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. Often the jue had a handle, sometimes in the shape of a dragon. It also has two protuberances on the top of the vessel, which were probably used when lifting the vessel out of heat [ [http://www.comptonverney.org.uk/?page=collections/china/tripod.html The website of the Compten Verney Art gallery] ] . The surface of jues is decorated with taotie.
