The Zun (Chinese zūn 尊) is a Chinese vascular type, particularly known for many bronze finds from the Shang and Zhou periods. It was used in religious ceremonies for drinking or warming wine. The illustrated specimen dates from the middle Shang period.

The yellow-glazed Zun porcelain (Pinyin Huangyou ci zun, English Yellow glazed porcelain zun) from the time of the middle Shang dynasty was excavated in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, Henan Province. It is one of the oldest porcelain vessels discovered in China. It is now in the collection of the Shanghai Museum (Shanghai bowuguan).
