Copper Tumbler · Broken Reflections on Hammered Metal

SUBJECT
One upright, handleless copper tumbler with a gently tapered body, an open circular mouth, and shallow rounded hammer marks across its exterior.

COMPOSITION
Show the entire tumbler in a slightly elevated three-quarter view, centered on a matte warm-gray tabletop against a plain matching background. Reveal the opening and enough of the front surface to compare the broad reflection with its broken edges.

STYLE GUIDE
1. Shape & line
Build a clean, gently tapered silhouette with a narrow elliptical rim and a darker visible interior; keep the shallow exterior dents inside the body contour so the cup retains a smooth, readable outline.

2. Color & light
Place a tall softbox on image-left so its pale reflection runs down the left-front wall; let individual dents interrupt this band into bright and dark patches, while the image-right wall stays a deeper copper brown.

3. Texture & material
Render the hammer marks as irregular, shallow rounded depressions with softly changing slopes; give neighboring depressions differently placed highlights and shadow lips, while preserving a continuous metallic copper surface between them.

4. Composition
Leave generous empty space around the cup and keep its front wall sharply readable; place a soft contact shadow directly beneath the base, extending toward image-right, and keep the tabletop matte so the fragmented metal reflection remains the focal detail.

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: Prioritize the way shallow dents visibly break a single tall reflection into uneven patches.

AVOID
Avoid glitter-like speckles, deep craters, and a smooth uninterrupted highlight stripe.

OUTPUT
One square product image with realistic studio photography rendering, no lettering, logos, labels, or watermark.

SELF-CHECK
Check that the broken highlights follow visible depressions while the overall tumbler silhouette stays smooth.
