This is a tea set I got in Japan back in the 1970's. In my house it's purely decorative as I don't make much tea for myself.

Taken outside on top of the gas grill, which has a black cover on it. The "tea" is oregano.

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, levels, white balance, 2nd layer (dodged cup and pot, merged in Multiply mode), cloned out light spots, increased contrast, dodged cup and pot a little more, added border, resized, sharpened.
