A <em>jue </em>is an ancient Chinese vessel originally designed for serving wine during ceremonies. Bronze jue became prominent during the Shang (c. 1500–1050 BCE) and Zhou (1050–221 BCE) dynasties. This particular piece, made of porcelain during the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), emulates the earlier bronze designs. It reflects the owner's taste for antiquity.
