"Hanwa" Yixing teapot is shaped like a cylindrical jar, which appears straight up and down, but has an arched middle that gives it a strong tension. The lid is a large, slightly bulging and curved circle, with a bridge-shaped knob on top that slopes gently. The straight spout is of moderate length, while the ear-shaped handle is slightly flattened in the middle. Both the spout and handle are polygonal, providing visual changes and a classic combination of square and round in art.

"Shuiping“ zisha teapot-Chinese Kung Fu tea is a traditional brewing method that involves putting a large amount of tea leaves in a teapot and only brewing with boiling water, allowing the tea juice to slowly seep out. To achieve this, the teapot must be placed in a tea bowl or tea sea, with hot water poured around the outside of the teapot, causing it to float in the hot water and allowing the tea juice to be brewed. This requires an exquisite production process, with the clay used for the spout and handle of the teapot being of equal quality. When the teapot floats on the surface of the water, it must maintain a horizontal position without tilting, hence the name "shuiping" teapot.

"Xubian" yixing teapot is considered one of the most challenging shapes to create in traditional handmade purple clay pottery. In fact, it's said in the industry that "one point of shaping equals one point of difficulty in forming." To create this teapot, the potter must start with a cylindrical shape and then use a "clay pat" to gently tap and flatten the clay without causing it to collapse. This requires a great deal of skill and precision in manual operation, making it a difficult and time-consuming process. Despite the challenges, the Xubian teapot is highly valued by collectors and tea enthusiasts for its unique and elegant shape, as well as its ability to brew tea with a rich and full flavor.
