This device comes with a lid, folded shoulders, round belly, curved flow, and a high lifting beam in the shape of a crabapple. The handle, lid, shoulder, spout, and bottom of the pot are all made of tin, and the lid is inlaid with blue beads. The body of the pot cleverly utilizes the natural form of coconut shells as the main body, and the surface is also carved with exquisite patterns, with smooth and natural lines, showcasing the superb manual carving skills of the time. There are also three equidistant raised "feet" at the bottom of the pot, which are used to enhance the stability of the pot body.

The tin pot combines the natural texture of coconut shell with the metallic luster of tin, making it not only a practical drinking utensil, but also a witness to the integration of Qing Dynasty craftsmanship and aesthetics, reflecting the people's taste in life and craftsmanship level at that time.
