The handle of the pot is in an S-shaped shape, carved with curly leaf patterns, and the flow of the pot is an eagle head wearing a crown. Opening the lid of the pot made of transparent glass, it can be seen that a small watch with a pair of needles is horizontally embedded in the pot, with a white enamel dial surrounded by mountains and stones. Inside, a small bird is standing among branches made of rice beads, jumping and singing, and there is a top chord hole behind the bird. The entire watch’s machinery is hidden inside the pot belly. After winding, pull the string under the handle, and the bird can turn around and open its mouth to sing
