Look
Front

Before a family wedding gathering, Gorshok brings a teapot he made for everyone to share tea. He has wrapped the warm clay in festive fabric and supports it against his chest with both paws. It is a personal gift from this potter character, not a claim about a required ritual for all Mulao people.

Original form

Character starts with form.

A short open clay neck rises from the grey head, with tea visible inside. Brown eyes bring a gentle expression to the pottery-like form.
