Apulia wine vessel
Produced in Apulia between 400-390 BC and manufactured in Taranto (southern Italy), attributed to the birth of the painter Dionysus, possibly originating from Barry's ceramics. This huge Apulian wine vessel, originally used for mixing wine and water at banquets, seems to have been made for funerals. The scene depicts Hercules being taken to Mount Olympus by Athena's chariot after his death, marking his immortal status as a god. Dionysus was one of the leading figures in the ancient Apulian decorative style, who created intricate compositions on large vases in a rich style. It is currently housed in the Brussels Museum of Art and History in Belgium.
Late merchant bronze three-legged jue wine vessel
Jue is a vessel used in ancient China to serve warm wine in ancestor worship rituals. It is ovoid and supported by three spreading triangular legs, with a long curved beak on one side and a balanced handle on the other. Many examples have one or two ring handles on the sides and two column protrusions on the top, which may be used to enable people to lift the vessel with a belt. They are usually gorgeously decorated and have gluttonous decorations.
Shang Dynasty Bronze Gong Wine Ware
It's a ritual used to hold wine. It was mainly made during the reign of King Wu and King Zhao in the late Shang Dynasty (1300-1046 BC), and during the early Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-977 BC). Found in Anyang, this deep, boat-shaped wine-tipper demonstrates almost perfect craftsmanship. On the lower part of the handle and side are carved Taotie masks.
