Chinese Bronze Ritual Tripod Wine Vessel, Jue.

19th century
Description

This interesting Chinese Archaistic Jue is finely cast in bronze, and it represents an ancient pouring vessel used in rituals and ceremonies.

This small example is beautifully decorated with a cast, detailed pattern on the main outer body.

It stands on three raised, tapering legs. It has a finely patinated and verdigris surface, which is in keeping with the early period it represents. In my opinion, this piece dates to the 19th century but could be much older.

Height 13cm x width 12cm x depth 5cm

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Jue is an ancient Chinese tripod vessel traditionally used for serving or warming wine during ancestral rites, characterised by three splayed legs, a trough-like spout, and two vertical rim posts.

Ancient Chinese bronze vessels were produced using the sectional piece-mould casting technique, which allowed metalworkers to execute complex relief patterns and crisp surface details directly into the mould faces.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit genuine encrustation and oxidisation from prolonged burial, along with structural evidence of piece-mould seams and period-appropriate stylized decoration.

Position the object on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or within a display cabinet, pairing its textured patinated finish alongside contemporary ceramics or sculptural elements.

Maintain patinated metal by dusting periodically with a soft dry brush and storing in a dry climate to prevent active corrosion, avoiding chemical polishes or abrasive treatments.
