Makes small coasters and checks that a favourite cup does not wobble on them.
Cultural context
Tea Coaster Maker / Collection
The maker tries a new tea coaster: the little cup rests evenly while one free paw steadies its edge. A russet-brown apron, milk-white shirt and dark-green trousers suit a quiet day in the workshop.
Qingxiang after work: a short dusty-blue knitted vest over a soft graphite shirt, with pale rounded trousers. Lifts a brewing gaiwan in both paws: one holds the body, the other touches the seated lid. The apron and coaster have been removed.
00 / Original form
A very broad, low, almond-shaped olive head with integral tea edges at the sides; a pale grey-jade face area. A sturdy short torso, broad paws and low feet. Narrow dark eyes with a green glint and a good-natured squint.
