Art style: Studio Ghibli.
A classic matte black gooseneck kettle sits on a small electric burner on a stone countertop. Wisps of white steam curl elegantly from the thin, curved spout. Small, energetic bubbles are visible through the glass lid's vent. The background is a tiled kitchen backsplash in soft ivory. The lighting is bright but soft, emphasizing the translucent quality of the steam. A palette of charcoal, ivory, and soft grey.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
