Show How It Was Made: Prompt Clues for Glass, Gilded Lacquer and Linen

“Premium material” tells an image model little about what to draw. A useful product prompt names the making process, the mark it leaves, and the viewing angle that will reveal that mark. In the opening image, glass, enamel, linen and metal share one side light on a stone table. Their surfaces respond differently.

Start with the method, then describe the sheen

For a cloisonné tea tin, specify a metal body, cells divided by thin wires and colored enamel inside them. Raking light can reveal the boundaries. Without those construction details, the wires may turn into arbitrary gold decoration. A gilded lacquer fan needs a continuous dark lacquer surface and narrow gilded lines. Let the lacquer reflect deeply while the lines catch smaller highlights; equal glare across the fan erases the craft.

A terracotta spiral sculpture offers a different test. Finger pressure and slightly irregular fired edges should remain visible in warm side light. It should not transmit light like glass. Put these physical cues before mood words to reduce the chance of a plastic-looking result.

Give glass and fabric different evidence

In the blown-glass kelp vessels, varying wall thickness, trapped bubbles and a shadow on the table distinguish handmade glass from a uniform factory bottle. Bright and dark edges must still agree with one light source. For the linen jacket weave, look instead for crossing yarns and connected seams. Soft grazing light reveals fiber; a hard mirror reflection hides it.

Write the constraints in four steps: forming method, retained mark, camera angle and light direction. After generation, check whether seams connect, bubbles sit inside glass and gold lines follow the lacquer. Revise the failed structural cue before adding adjectives.
