The vessel is modeled with a broad, rounded body, an angular spout, and a traditional arched swing handle, reflecting the influence of mid to late 20th-century decorative metalwork inspired by classic tetsubin forms.

The lid fits flush beneath a low circular finial, maintaining the vessel’s balanced proportions. Crafted from a lightweight alloy rather than cast iron, it was produced for display rather than heating water, aligning with export décor trends of the period.
