Wine Warmer (Jue)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Wine Warmer (Jue) by artist is a tan-colored, ancient Chinese ceramic vessel. The vessel has a wide mouth with a jagged rim, a handle on one side, and three legs at the bottom. The body of the vessel is bulbous with a narrow waist and a horizontal line encircling it. The background is a gradient from black at the top to white at the bottom. The object appears to be made of clay and has a rough texture. It has a small handle on the right side and appears to be a type of wine warmer.
