For example, if the artist's calligraphy is not good, please ask someone to engrave the seal, which can be used many times, and the seal must be the same every time, so as to distinguish the authenticity; Printing on the pot is convenient and easy, much faster than carving on the pot, and suitable for mass production. So in the early Qing Dynasty, the seal was replaced by seal script, but some famous pot makers had better calligraphy, so the seal and seal script were used together.

The seal is the author's signature, and it is also an indispensable artistic decoration of the teapot. The seals of master pot makers are generally carved by famous seal engravers, such as Chen Mansheng of Yang Pengnian, Wu Dahui of Huang Yulin, Pan Zhiliang and Pei Shimin of Wang Yinchun. Generally, artists will ask sculptors to make seals, so the level of seals on teapot is also very different, which will also affect its collection value to some extent.
