The jade Jue cup is one of the major type of antique style jades and manufactured in the form of ancient chinese bronze objects. During the Shang and Zhou period the bronze jue was a wine vessel.

Beneath the belly the vessel has three tail, slender feet that slanted outwards. The belly was decorated with the pattern of clouds and thunder, one-legged dragon and phoenix with one -legged dragon pattern. Some were ornamented with corner edges.
