Morphology
The scaffolding 'look like' is fully transparent, but the key lexical item 'shitpot' is a colloquial compound formed from 'shit' + 'pot' whose literal parts signal filth. A B1 learner who knows 'shit' and 'pot' could plausibly infer a meaning related to being filthy or messy, yet the form is slangy, rare and its exact evaluative nuance and usage are not fully predictable without exposure, so it is only partially transparent.
Etymology
The phrase look like a shitpot may come from the image of a pot full of waste, where shit makes a pot very dirty. So, to look like a shitpot means 'to appear very dirty or messy'.
