This chicken-heart cup has gently rounded walls, a slightly narrower base, and a broad open rim. Its compact profile sits securely in the hand and gives the drinker a clear view of colour, making it a friendly cup for gongfu tasting.
The chicken-heart cup, jixin bei, is named for a profile that narrows toward the lower body, recalling a chicken heart. It belongs to the small-cup tradition of Chinese tea service, especially gongfu brewing, where each infusion is shared in measured pours.
China's porcelain tradition gives this cup a pale ivory glaze with a quiet sheen, allowing tea colour to remain visible. The rounded rim is comfortable for sipping; rinse away tea residue and let the cup dry.
