Description

Pair of Jue ritual cups; China, Qing dynasty, Kangxi Period, 1662-1722-. Glazed porcelain. They show restorations. Measurements: 7.5 x 8 x 6 cm (x2). In the British Museum can be seen a piece of great similarity to the present set (N Inv, 1847, 0712. 319). A jue is a type of ancient Chinese vessel used to serve mulled wine during ancestor worship ceremonies. It is shaped like an ovoid body supported by three extended triangular legs, with a long curved spout on one side and a counterweight rim on the other. They are a small Chinese equivalent of the ewer. The name jue is not original, but comes from the Shuowen Jiezi, a dictionary of the 2nd century AD. The vessel originated in the Neolithic as a ceramic vessel associated with the Longshan culture, between about 2500 and 2000 BC. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties of Bronze Age China, it became one of numerous Chinese ritual bronze designs. They present restorations.
