Write a detailed description of a dreary scene inside a shop with a counter, pottery, vases, and ferns.

A fine layer of white pottery dust covers every flat surface in this shop. Tall vases filled with wilted yellow ferns flank the doorway in a failed attempt at elegance. Lanterns cast their warm yellow light across the shelves of pottery and blown glass behind the counter. A slight breeze blows through a window set high in the east wall, cooling the shop.
