Jar/dish idea?

I've been messing around with different ideas and i decided to make a jar/dish sort of piece. I threw 3 cylinders and then made one of them into my idea. Heres the one that i have finnished.

Mainly what i wanted to do was work out a way for the handle/lid/side handles to connect and make sense with the shape of the body. Atleast for this piece i'm not satisfied and i have alot to change and work out. I like my idea but i think that i need to make the lid not look so much bigger than the body and this either means making the lid sit on the inside of the body or have a lid that fits right into the lip of the body, making it more or less seem like the body just continues into the lid, (which would be cool). For this piece i wanted to make the lid handle match the side handles but i think it might be better to just have a knob or a different style. Anyways the things that i want to work on for the piece is the lid and the handle on the lid. I'll keep posting the changes i make so you can see the progession of my thought process.

Heres a fun a video :D
