Crafting demands exceptional skill - precisely joining four uniform clay slabs into seamless square walls, carving motifs with controlled pressure, and firing at 1150-1200°C. The "four seasons" square form symbolizes cyclical harmony, while ruyi patterns represent prosperity. Tea aroma gradually permeates the porous clay, deepening its patina over time. Maintenance simply requires rinsing and air-drying without detergents.
