Salesperson: Yes, its a teapot and its also a cup. Here, have a look. Customer: Thats nice very original. My aunt will like that! Salesperson: Yes, its very special. Its made of porcelain. A Russian artist made it and these other porcelain cups. Customer: Is it also very old? Salesperson: Oh, no. It was made last year. Customer: How much does it cost? Salesperson: Its 110.

How much are the clay bowls? Salesperson: Theyre 20. Customer: Yes, a clay bowl is a very nice present. This bowl is beautiful. Ill take it.
