There are usually several ways to tackle the same problem.  
This is one of the ways I might approach it…

As you can see, I sliced the top from the body to create the ‘Pringle’ effect then sketched the profile for the ‘Roll Top’ before sweeping it around the perimeter.

Next stage is a Clawfoot for each corner.

Not my best work but just put together quickly to show what is possible…
