Abstract

The metal vessel of the present invention is characterized in that a relief type hologram or relief type diffraction grating is formed on at least a part of the vessel by coining. By forming this hologram or diffraction grating by coining, the dimensional precision or reproducibility of the hologram of diffraction grating is highly improved. The metal vessel having the hologram formed thereon is excellent in the design and decorative characteristics, and in the metal vessel having the diffraction grating formed thereon, changes of the inner pressure can be easily detected by utilizing this diffraction grating.
