Perhaps I should always read new chapters at night.
Wonder if we'll find out more about how the multiple perceptions of the same thing works now, considering Sorawo sees it as both the snake monster and just six metal bars.
The conundrum I had here was actually between vase and pot, as bottles have an implication of being able to be sealed with a lid or stopper. I would personally prefer to call them vases because of their necks, but I decided to match the wording of the EN novel since 'pot' is a very loosely defined word that encompasses a lot of different pottery. The important thing here is that the reader understands they are ceremonial rather than utilitarian, were never intended to be stoppered, and held a liquid (but not water plus a flower, as would be in a flower vase).
I always enjoy discussing this stuff, so make sure to question our decisions in the future too!
