Classification of teapots

First, the tree gall pot

Different from other teapots, its surface is smooth and flat, the pot body is modeled after the tree gall pattern, and the lid is like a lotus leaf, which is very delicate in shape. Nowadays, the pot for offering spring on the market itself is valuable, among which the tree gall pot is rare and rarely circulated, even better than the golden jade.

Second, Dongpo Lianghu

Dongpo beam-lifting pot is large in volume, round in surface and shaped like a beam. As the name implies, this teapot is related to Su Dongpo. It is said that Su Dongpo disliked that the teapot was too small when drinking tea. He saw a lantern in the hand of a little boy next to him, so he thought about changing the teapot into a lantern. However, after the capacity became larger, the larger teapot was no longer suitable for the handle of the previous small pot, so he simply thickened the shape of the handle and connected it to both ends of the pot like a beam, named it "hanging beam pot".

Third, acacia pot

Acacia pot is a small teapot, suitable for playing with in your hand. The pot body is made of two utensils, hence the name Albizia Albizia, which means happiness when combined into one. Acacia pot is Mansheng's favorite and one of the eighteen classic pot types. Nowadays, many people who like drinking tea and making friends have an acacia pot on the coffee table, which is one of the most commonly used teapot types.
