老藝人們經常說：做壺無定法，但壺中有方圓。他們所說的方圓，就是關於壺的規矩，就是做壺、賞壺的基本原則。已故的藝術美術大師顧景舟先生認為，一 把好的紫砂壺，應該是“形、神、氣、態俱佳”。“形”指外形，主要指紫砂壺的輪廓與面相；“神”指神韻，指稱紫砂壺的精神風貌；“氣”指氣質，與紫砂壺的 用料、色澤以及各個部件的搭配、協調有關；“態”指儀態，涉及紫砂壺的大小、高低、胖瘦、剛柔等方面。顧先生認為，這四個方面如能夠“貫通一氣，才是一件 真正的好作品”。
Old artists often say that there is no definite way to make a pot, but there is a square circle in the pot. What they said was the rules of the pot and the basic principle of making and appreciating the pot. Mr. Gu Jingzhou, the late master of art and fine arts, believed that a good purple clay pot should be "good in shape, spirit, Qi and state". "Shape" refers to appearance, mainly refers to the outline and appearance of the purple clay pot; "Shen" refers to verve, referring to the spiritual style of the purple clay pot; "Qi" refers to temperament, which is related to the material, color and the matching and coordination of various components; "state" refers to manner, involving the size, height, fatness and softness of the teapot. Mr. Gu believes that if these four aspects can be "linked together, it is a really good work".
