Here is the tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Top plane>>Sketch.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Draw this profile.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Extrude it.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Reference geometry>>plane.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Top plane by 70mm.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Plane1>>Sketch.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Draw a circle.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Exit the sketch. Lofted surface.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Select the circle and the edges of the extruded surface as the loop using selection manager.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Tangency to face.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Click OK. Again Plane1>>Sketch.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Select the edge and then convert entities.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Extrude it.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Front Plane>>Sketch.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Draw this profile using spline.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    Trim it in half.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Draw another spline tangent to this one.
    

    

18. Step 18:

    Revolve surface it.
    

    

19. Step 19:

    Trim surface.
    

    

20. Step 20:

    Trim away the outer surfaces.
    

    

21. Step 21:

    Knit surface.
    

    

22. Step 22:

    Select all surface and uncheck gap control. Check merge entities.
    

    

23. Step 23:

    Fillet.
    

    

24. Step 24:

    Select the edge of the extruded-surface2.
    

    

25. Step 25:

    Thicken.
    

    

26. Step 26:

    Select the surface and thicken it outside.
    

    

27. Step 27:

    And we have the basic surface of the container.
