Exact submitted prompt
Generate one square image. Photograph one squat handmade ceramic teapot with a short spout, one loop handle, and a matte iron-rich stoneware glaze on a worn walnut tabletop in a plain workshop. The complete teapot is centered and fully visible, spout pointing left, handle on the right. View at tabletop height with a normal 50 mm perspective. A quiet unadorned grey workshop wall fills the background. Keep the same subject, framing, surface, and background. No cups, flowers, textiles, people, text, logos, watermark, or visible light fixtures. Lighting: direct on-camera flash, hard frontal illumination, a distinct shadow behind the object.
