Introduction of Product
Jue, type of ancient Chinese pitcherlike container used for wine and characterized by an elegant and dynamic shape.
The jue can either be a type of pottery or it can be bronze. It is much like the jia except for the rim, which is drawn into a large, projecting, U-shaped spout (with capped pillars at the base) on one side and a pointed tail, or handle, flaring out from the opposite side. A taotie, or monster mask, is commonly found on either side of the body, much like the jia.
Of course, the famous jue is Fu Xin Jue, in earlier Xizhou period (11century B.C.~771 B.C.), a wine vessel. The "Jue" type of wine vessel has long tail, deep belly, round base, stands on three legs. The "Jue" was used as a cup for heating and drinking. On top of the wine vessel are two round small solid knobs. Experts are still not sure the purposes of the two knobs.
Fu Xin is a personĄ¯s name that was engraved on the vessel. The original one was unearthed in 1976 in Baijiacun, Fengzhuang, Shaanxi Province, and is now in the collection of the Zhouyuan Museum of Shaanxi Province.
The earliest pottery jue was found in the so-called Longshan culture (c. 2500¨C2000 bce) during the late Neolithic Period. The bronze jue was more widely used during the Shang (c. 1600¨C1046 bce) and early Zhou (1046¨C256 bce) dynasties, but its popularity later diminished. Some pottery copies of the bronze jia were also used as spirit utensils (mingqi) that were placed in tombs.
