The high hollow lid fits seamlessly with the pot’s mouth, creating a cohesive whole. The spherical knob has a clear, clean-cut base, and the rounded bottom is neatly crafted.

The lines are beautifully natural, with a well-balanced spout and handle, and the slim, elongated handle enhances its elegant appearance.
