Acquired at Christie's London, 19 Jun 2001, lot 3, with an original receipt. The result of the Oxford Authentication Ltd. thermoluminescence analysis test, sample no. C101j70, is consistent with the dating of this lot, with a photocopied certificate dated 1 May 2001. Note: Ritual wine vessels in the form of a jueare more commonly seen in bronze. They were designated for heating and pouring wine during Shang dynasty rituals. The capped posts rising from the rim would have allowed the hot metal vessel to be lifted from the heat and poured, whereas the ceramic form of this vessel would not have been suitable for this.Compared tozun and gu vessels dated to the Shang dynasty made in the form of ceramic instead of bronze, fewer jue and jia vessels are known. Compare to a greatly simplified and squatted jue, dated to the late Shang dynasty,in the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, object no.
