Mechanical tea set? painted brass and oak case.
painted brass and oak case
>open case
You unlatch the toggle on your brass and oak case and hear a strange whirring sound, causing you to remove your hand from the toggle. Within seconds, a tiny opening appears at the top of the case and the thin doors are drawn away from each other. The doors at the hinges bend and slide into a small compartment at the bottom, turning the case into a painted brass and oak platter.
>l on platter
On the brass and oak platter you see a stack of plates, a stack of bowls, a stack of saucers, a stack of forks, a stack of spoons, a stack of knives and a stack of teacups.
>l at plate
Fashioned with an artfully rolled lip, the broad expanse of the rectangular plate is mostly white with a sateen finish. Indigo blue pigments painted from the top right of the plate create the image of an octopus with twisting tentacles that stretch away from the bulbous head towards the left edge. Delicate brush strokes form the suction cups that decorate the spindled limbs, while prominent ones outline with great detail the cephalopod's eye.
>l at saucer
Cobalt blue scallop shells ring the edge of the white, round saucer, the paint startlingly bright against the stark white porcelain. Tiny waves ripple from the edges towards the center, the delicate brushstrokes that are their design frothing at the center where they are drawn in collision with one another.
>l at spoon
Fashioned of pewter, the spoon is wrought in the image of an octopus perched upon a piece of driftwood. Its long tentacles are wrapped completely around the wood, though the ends manage to clutch onto a shell, which is actually the bowl of the spoon.
>l at teacup
Uniformly white, the lip of the teacup is smooth and gently rolled to create an even finish. Painted upon one side, an indigo blue octopus stretches its tentacles outward, which the crafter has brilliantly turned into a handle that is complete with three dimensional suction cups.
>close platter
You depress a button hidden in the design of the brass and oak platter's handle. A small whirring sound heralds tiny doors extending from the bottom of the platter, which extend upward until they completely obscure the contents of the platter and transform the piece into a painted brass and oak case.
