Farm kitchen tea pot

This little scene from a farm kitchen is like a rural still life, although I do not know if it is proper to call something a still life if there is not anything alive in the photo or painting.

I guess that the wooden caddy is used like a trivet to place the teapot on to protect whatever is underneath.  This farm kitchen had only a small wood fire for cooking, so there would be no room to leave the teapot on the grill when other meals were being prepared..

This week we have photos of the ancient Khmer temples around Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia,  on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

I like that beautiful handmade tea caddie. It has a lovely patina and shape.

Sure, the term works. Are cut flowers alive or dead? I like this because it's as tipico as it gets in rural Costa Rica.

This is a very nice, simple image. If you want to call it a still life, it is a still life. I don't have a better term.

I can understand a slab of wood used as a trivet, but it's the bag hanging over it that I find intriguing. I don't see any kind of hinge to lower it into the pot.
