The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Wine warmer (Jue) is a bronze artifact with a green patina. It has a distinctive shape, with a wide, flared mouth that extends into a long, curved spout on one side. The body is roughly cylindrical and features a handle on one side. Three long, thin legs support the vessel. A decorative band encircles the middle of the body. The background of the image is gray, with a shadow cast by the object.
