Jue Tripod vessel, ritual wine cup

Just found this in a thrift shop today, when I checked on ebay I see some starting at $7 and others selling for $2,500.

I believe this is a reproduction, but quite a nice one.
It does not react to a magnet, could it be bronze?
Can anybody give me more information about this piece?

It looks Chinese, probably a good copy of an old form, but beyond that you've got me. There are some hard core sinophiles in here. You might want to post the use the rectangular box in the reply line to put the direct URL for those photos up. Some folks don't trust links.

 

Thank you evely - I could do with some coffee too right now.
I will try to get this URL on.
And thank you very much for your take on this tripod vessel!

 

Very sorry for taking up all this space, but it will not let me upload the URL, on photobucket it tells me that it is copied, I don't know where I am going wrong.

 

I'm giving up, that was my last try.
I copied the HTML URL into the image box (mountain/moon) then I click on insert, and then I get a big red X. If somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate it, and I'll have another go at it tomorrow.

 

This is the URL you need to paste into the "mountains and moon" box.

Only the link to the picture, nothing else.

DSCN2878 and DSCN2874 seem to be the same picture...

 

I think you already know everything about the piece. A Chinese bronze wine cup with applied patina and veridigris. Even if a repro it still may have some age but how old I can't tell.

 

lauragarnet and kardinalisimio - Thank you both very much for your assistance!
The URL next to the picture kept coming up with a much longer version of a link.
I never had that problem in the past.
I really appreciate your help.
