Throughout history, renowned Teapot makers have been very particular about their seals, almost demanding perfection in layout and form:
1. The seals are meticulously crafted with a rich metallic and stone aesthetic.
2. Seals are impressed with even force, ensuring uniform depth.
3. The placement of seals is carefully considered to maintain overall harmony. If placed inside the lid, it must be near the hole; if on the base, it must be centered; if on the handle, it must be at the bottom of the handle; if on the body, it must be at the end of any poem or painting.
4. The size of the seal is proportional to the size of the pot and its location. Larger pots have larger seals, smaller pots have smaller seals; base seals are larger than lid seals, which in turn are larger than handle seals.
5. The style of the seal complements the style of the pot. Elegant pieces feature delicate and exquisite seals; robust and unrestrained works bear bold and rugged seals; dignified and stable designs are adorned with square and balanced seals.
