Tea Ceremony Water Jar pixel art questions

Which details should I simplify first?

Remove tiny texture marks before changing the outside shape. Keep larger openings, overlapping parts and the clearest light-dark boundary from the source. Compare those large relationships at your working grid before adding extra colors.

Where do these tea ceremony water jar references come from?

They come from Smithsonian collection records with explicit CC0 image designations. The primary reference is Tea ceremony water jar in the National Museum of Asian Art collection. Object links, original titles and credits are retained below.

What moves in the GIF?

The whole adapted illustration shifts in a short floating loop. This presents the pixel artwork as an animation; it does not reconstruct the object’s original motion or animate individual details.

Make your own tea ceremony water jar pixel art

Start with the largest recognizable shape in the reference. Preserve its main divisions and negative spaces before adding surface detail, using one clear midtone between the darkest and brightest areas. Choose a small working grid, refine the main shapes and export your own image or GIF.
