Cozy Wooden Shelves: Handmade Pottery & Book

An intimate, warmly lit indoor scene featuring rustic wooden shelves mounted on a plaster wall. On the shelves are an array of handmade pottery: mugs with thumb-mark handles, bowls, a tall vase, and a small teapot with earthy glazes—terracotta, celadon, and creamy speckled glaze. Each piece shows wheel ridges and glaze texture, with tiny drips or fingerprints for character. Interspersed among the pottery sits a well-used pottery techniques book, its cover faded and pages slightly yellowed, opened to a page illustrating coil-building and step-by-step tools. The shelf and pieces are bathed in soft amber light from a nearby window with sheer curtains, casting gentle shadows and highlighting rich wood grain. Cozy details include a knitted throw draped over a chair edge and a small succulent in a clay pot nearby. Color palette of warm earth tones: ochre, sand, olive, terracotta. The shot is a close, painterly still life with shallow depth of field: foreground pottery in sharp focus, background softly blurred. Realistic textures: wood grain, glaze sheen, clay surface, and printed book pages.
