FIG. 1A is a side elevation view of the “cookware vessel with decorative rim and exterior”, showing my new design; whereas FIG. 1B is an enlarged portion of the vessel exterior rim shown as region B in FIG. 1A to better illustrate the contrasting appearance of the exterior rim and exterior body of the vessel;

FIG. 10A is a colored side elevation view thereof, intended to supplement FIGS. 7A and 8, showing my new design; whereas FIG. 10B is an enlarged portion of the vessel exterior rim shown as region B in FIG. 10A to better illustrate the contrasting appearance of the exterior rim and exterior body of the vessel.

The rim external appearance shown in FIG. 1A-B, 7A-B is an upper or first bright silver colored reflective band, followed by a lower copper colored band, followed by a second bright silver colored reflective band as a third visible layer, whereas the external portion of the vessel below this three layer rim banded region has a dark grey appearance. The pairs of 3 parallel zig-zag lines in the first and second bright silver colored reflective band are overlaid to represent the reflective nature of the surface, not ornamentation thereon.

The curved vertical breaking line pairs that are separated by a white space in FIGS. 1A, 4A, 7A and 10A are to illustrate that the vessel body may have a variable exterior and internal width.

No claim is made to the interior of the vessel, as the color, appearance and depth of the interior of the vessels are not part of the claimed design.

The broken lines in FIGS. 1-10 are for illustrative purposes only, depicting the environment of the new design, forming no part thereof as claimed, with the bottom portion of the vessel is shown in broken lines in FIGS. 1-4 and 7-10 to illustrate that the vessel body has a variable exterior and internal height.

Moreover, FIGS. 1B and 7B are shaded to represent the rim of the vessel having a layered appearance in which the top layer is a reflective silver color shade, the wider middle layer is a copperish color, and the lower layer is also a reflective silver color shade. The larger external sidewall portions of the vessel have a matt gray color that is darker than the reflective silver color shape of the adjacent rim.

The colors of the design are not limited to the exact hues, brightness and saturation depicted in FIGS. 4-6 and 9-10.
