Here the pup sits chest-deep in a white cup filled with pale blue water, paws resting on the rim, a green collar at its neck, the cup set on a matching saucer. It is a small, tender sculpture of comfort, and one of the best-known objects from the artist's collaborations of the early 2000s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is described as deadstock, bought new from an authorised retailer and never opened.
