Bronze ware from the Shang Dynasty, "Wine Vessel Gu"
This wine vessel is currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. Gu wine vessel is a tall and elegant wine glass with a compact shape, with a trumpet shaped top, gradually narrowing in the middle, and slightly expanding outward at the bottom. Archaeological evidence shows that bronze wine vessels first appeared during the Erligang Culture period of the Shang Dynasty (1500-1300 BC). Gu wine vessels were most popular during the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BC), but became relatively rare in the early Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-977 BC) and gradually disappeared during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 BC).
Late Shang Dynasty Bronze Square Cup
This square cup is a cultural relic from the late Shang Dynasty (13th century BC to 12th century BC), currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. Cup is one of the earliest Chinese bronze wares, dating back to the Erlitou period (2000 BC to 1600 BC). Archaeological excavations have found that there are more toasts and cups (another type of wine cup) than cauldrons (vessels used to hold food). Drinking was popular during the Shang Dynasty and early Western Zhou Dynasty (1600 BC to 977 BC), but gradually lost favor in the late Western Zhou Dynasty (885 BC to 771 BC) and eventually disappeared.
