The Li Mao Qin Quan (Li Mao: conical hat; Qin Quan: ancient Qin counterweight) takes its main inspiration from the shape of traditional Chinese balance weights.

The Qin Quan form symbolizes fairness, authority, and order. Its body resembles a truncated cone, with a broad, stable base that gradually narrows toward the top, creating a low center of gravity and a steady, substantial appearance.

This version differs slightly from the classic Qin Quan form, with a lid shaped somewhat like a traditional conical hat.

The teapot is made with a thin-walled body.
