Wine Warmer (Jue)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Wine Warmer (Jue) by unknown artist. The object is a ceramic vessel with a handle on one side. It has a wide mouth with a rounded lip and a body that bulges out in the middle. The body is supported by three legs. The vessel is made of clay and has a rough texture with visible signs of aging and wear, including discoloration and scratches. A handle is attached to one side, curving down from the rim. The background of the image fades from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
