Characteristics of teapots: Chrysanthemum petal teapots come in various shapes, often based on different round pots. The most common shapes are 16-petal or 32-petal. Regardless of shape, the chrysanthemum petal teapot has 32 petals, the petals are of the same size, and the lid and mouth petals are in harmony with each other. With 32 sides and each side can be changed, the 32-petal chrysanthemum can be said to be extremely difficult.

The ribs radiate from the top of the lid to the mouth of the lid, and then stretch to the body of the pot to the bottom of the pot. The whole pot must be connected with one air. The texture must be clear and distinct, with linear curvature and consistent depth.
