The design brilliantly combines classical antique style with pine tree motifs. The flattened spherical body resembles a compressed pearl, featuring a perfectly fitted arched lid with a lifelike pinecone knob displaying detailed scale patterns. Both the spout and handle imitate pine branches - the spout base shows bark textures with forked pine needles, while the ergonomic handle replicates weathered wood.
