Location: Longmiang, Laos. A human hand, with light to medium skin tone, holds a round, blue and white marbled ceramic lid by its small, brass-colored finial. The lid's interior rim is a reddish-brown. Below and to the right, a matching ceramic teapot rests on a dark, reflective surface. The teapot features the same blue and white marbled pattern, accented by several horizontal gold-colored stripes and a small gold-toned emblem on its side. It has an open top, revealing a brown interior, and a short, chipped spout exposing a golden-brown material within. A small handle-like protrusion is visible near the teapot's rim. To the far right, a smaller, similar blue and white patterned ceramic vessel with a lid is partially visible and out of focus. A wooden surface with visible grain occupies the left portion of the background.
