Which sentence is correct and why?

Bring a pot consisting of two pieces.

Bring a pot which consists of two pieces.

Thank you.
 
The sentences are both grammatically correct, though they sound strange. They are both correct because they both give a correctly phrased instruction to bring a two-pieced pot.
Neither of them makes much sense to me. What are the two pieces? Does it mean a pot with a lid?
 
Thank you so much. I mean a pot which is divided to two pieces where you can put food and water in the bottom. I have no idea what is called? Thank you.:)

A pot is usually a cooking vessel. Do you mean some other kind of container?
