　　The chrysanthemum motif is one of the traditional symbolic patterns. In ancient times, chrysanthemums were highly favored by scholars and literati. In ancient China, chrysanthemums were also known by various other names, such as “Jie Hua,” “Geng Sheng,” “Zhu Ying,” “Jin Rui,” “Zhou Ying,” “Yan Nian,” and “Yin Cheng.” According to the “Zhongshan Jing” chapter of the “Shan Hai Jing,” chrysanthemums are described as “flowers of longevity.” Moreover, the chrysanthemum is Japan’s national flower—the Japanese imperial family’s emblem. Although Japan does not officially designate a national emblem under its laws, the imperial family’s crest is commonly regarded as the national emblem. The imperial family’s crest features the “Sixteen-petal, Eight-layered Outer Chrysanthemum Pattern,” while the royal family’s crest displays the “Fourteen-petal Outer Chrysanthemum Pattern.” The entire teapot is crafted from sterling silver, with gilded decorative motifs. The lid is smooth and press-fit, featuring a semi-enclosed chrysanthemum-shaped knob riveted at the center. The teapot’s body has an oval, plain surface, adorned on both sides with the “Sixteen-petal Outer Chrysanthemum” pattern. The spout is straight and cannon-shaped, ideal for high-pour brewing and quick extraction of tea infusions. At the back of the spout, there’s a spherical filter mesh that can be used either for straining or as a brewing device. The handle is made of sandalwood, shaped like an ear and designed in a loop style. This 210-milliliter teapot yields approximately five cups of tea infusion, making it perfect for enjoying tea with one or two people.
