Blue Soap Dish · Glaze Pooling

SUBJECT
One empty blue glazed ceramic soap dish: a low rounded rectangle with a gently raised rim and exactly three shallow parallel drainage grooves running lengthwise across its interior.

COMPOSITION
Show the entire dish from an elevated three-quarter viewpoint, with its long axis running from image lower-left to upper-right. Keep the interior, all three grooves, the front outer wall and the rear rim clearly readable against a plain warm ivory surface.

STYLE GUIDE
1. Shape & line
Build the dish from softly rounded ceramic contours and a low continuous rim. Draw the three grooves as parallel recessed channels that follow the same perspective, narrowing toward image upper-right; preserve visible raised strips between them so the interior reads as one solid molded form.

2. Color & light
Use a pale-to-medium blue glaze over the broad interior, with deeper cobalt-blue bands gathered along the groove bottoms and the inner foot of the rim. Let the blue become lighter over raised crests. Light from image upper-left with a large soft source, creating broad pale reflections and a soft cast shadow toward image lower-right.

3. Texture & material
Render a glossy, slightly uneven fired glaze over an opaque ceramic body. Give the pooled blue bands soft irregular boundaries that stay inside the recesses, and carry smooth reflections across both pale and dark glaze; the darker color must look embedded in the coating rather than like open water or painted outlines.

4. Composition
Center the dish with generous ivory space around its silhouette and keep the whole object sharply legible. Angle the view so none of the three grooves is hidden by the front rim, and keep the brightest reflection on the image-left rim and adjacent raised surface, leaving the dark groove bands unobscured.

PRIORITY
Preserve the requested identity, count, action, composition and output settings. Apply the style rules within those constraints; a style reference must not replace the subject or layout. Within the style: Make glaze pooling reveal the recessed shape before adding surface detail.

AVOID
Avoid black groove outlines, liquid-filled channels and reflections that erase the blue bands.

OUTPUT
One square image, presented as a realistic studio product photograph, with no text, labels, logos or watermark.

SELF-CHECK
Confirm that all three grooves show darker glaze in their recesses and lighter blue on the intervening crests.
