Decorated jug. Free Field Style. Pottery. 8th-6th centuries BC. From Cyprus. Neues Museum. Berlin. Germany.Ritual Wine Vessel (Jiao) late 11th century B.C. China This elaborate set of wine vessels provides an idea of the splendor of Shang and early Zhou ritual ceremonies. The set is said to have come from a tomb uncovered in 1901; shortly thereafter, it entered the collection of Duan Fang, a senior Manchu official and one of the preeminent antiquarians of the late Qing period. The pieces vary in style and execution. Although eleven of the vessels are inscribed, only one grouping shares identical inscriptions: the two wine containers, or you (nos. 2, 3) and the tall wine container, or zun (no. 4). A second grouping has largely comparable inscriptions: the spouted water vessel, or he (no. 5) and one cup, or zhi (no. 11).A partial reconstruction of the sets arrangement in the tomb may be established from corrosion outlines on the three principal vessels—the two wine containers, or you, and the central tall wine container, or zun—that were etched onto the surface of the altar table.

Ming dynasty (1368-1644). MetalworkWine Warmer (Zun) 206 BCE-9 CE China. This type of cylindrical vessel has been identified as a wine warmer (zun) through a similar inscribed example excavated in northern China. The vessel may have been used for a variety of foods or wines, but its short legs indicate that it was probably not designed to be placed over a fire. This metal shape was modeled after early boxes of lacquered wood that served as cosmetic containers (lian)..

Believed to have been used by Jesus during the Last Super. This beautiful communion cup is supposed to have belonged to the Christian church founded by Constantine at Antioch in 341.Cylindrical Vessel 6th-9th century Maya This polychrome cylindrical vessel is identified by the text around the rim as a Classic Maya (ca. a.d. 250-900) "drinking cup." The design layout is less common than the full figure scenes and deity depictions seen on many Maya vessels. The interpretation of the well drawn profile deity head is that it may be one of many forms of a watery serpent creature, a common image in Maya art, often with smoke clouds issuing from the top, bottom, left and right side of the head. The split scroll motifs could also be read as representing vegetal forms linking the deity to agriculture, spring, and the concept of regeneration and regrowth.. Cylindrical Vessel.
