Jue 爵 - one of the oldest wine mugs, the earliest found dates from the Erlitou culture (right picture). The jue's typical features are the long, canal-like beak (liu 流) and the shorter counterpart on the other side (wei 尾). On both sides, small handles (pan 鋬) are fitted. From the Shang dynasty on, jue beaks are crowned by one or two zhu 柱 buttons. This vessel type has been very popular and was copied oftenly. It has been in use until the upcoming of bowls and cups during Song dynasty.

Jue 角 - (a character normally pronounced jiao) a wine mug very similar to the jue from Erlitou to Western Zhou times, but with a cover. The character originally means a kind of volume measure.
