I notice that you say "floral pattern",
can I say "flower pattern" as well?
And....should I say "leaf pattern", "leaves pattern", "leaf patterns" or "leaves patterns" when it's painted with more than one leaf?

And...is "the short round body (globular body)" the same idea as "bulbous body"?
Is the "flaring mouth" the same idea as "funnel mouth"?
As I found the 2 descriptions here"

yes, you can.

I would say flower/leaf pattern. If you say patterns, then there is more than one pattern. It can also suggest the patterns have different designs altogether.

Just by looking at the pictures you have attached to your post, the flaring mouth pot seems to look exactly the same as the funnel pot. The rim on both is externally folded and it looks somewhat like a pie crust rim.

Bulbous is a good word too and you can probably find a whole pile of other nice words like that on the web.

Good luck!
