Miniature “Pug Chef” in Painted Bronze - with Pan and Fried Egg - H. 11 cm

A pug in a chef’s hat guarding his fried egg with the utmost gravity.

Wearing a white apron, he grips a black frying pan, a fork at the ready. On a kitchen shelf, the breakfast table or in a cabinet he spreads good cheer, and for home cooks with a dog he is a present that lands at once.
