The embedded lid fits seamlessly with the mouth, crowned by a mushroom-shaped knob adorned with three-dimensional auspicious cloud patterns. These motifs, matching designs on the spout and handle, are created through meticulous hand-applied clay layering rather than carving. The upward-curving spout demonstrates thoughtful engineering - its polished edge ensures drip-free pouring while maintaining water flow control through calculated proportions.
