Apparent escapees from a monkey trainer (note the rope tied around their necks), the dog is realistically sculpted as it reaches out toward the creatures,

An exquisite studio porcelain bowl with foliate rim and gently pleated body, its rare café-au-lait ground enameled with a creamy white slip.
Lotus-like lappets rise from the base on the exterior and within, delicate white-enameled scrollwork frames a phoenix among vines in the bowl's central rondel.
