A miniature coastal harbor nestles inside a porcelain teacup filled with tea, blending miniature architectural craft with tabletop still life.

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst renders the translucent ceramic reflections and miniature boat textures with crisp fidelity.

Keep the aspect ratio at 1:1 square to frame the circular geometry of the cup and saucer centrally without excess empty space. Keep quality set to high so GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst resolves the micro-details of boat rigging, porcelain gloss, and sugar cube grain cleanly. If you need a horizontal banner, adjust the aspect ratio to 16:9 while leaving quality on high.
Tilt-shift optics create a shallow depth of field where only a narrow strip stays in focus while foreground and background blur. This optical quirk tricks the human eye into perceiving full-sized scenes as tabletop miniatures.
GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst often populates tiny city facades with text. Strengthen the prompt by replacing no text with completely blank pastel building facades without signage, lettering, or posters.
Yes, you can substitute the teacup with a hollowed-out citrus half, a soup ladle, or an eggshell. Keep everyday tabletop reference props like spoons or napkins nearby to preserve the miniature scale illusion.
