Description
Biscuit tins have a particular sound when the lid comes off, and Monsieur Gribouille could hear it from three rooms away. Up he would go, onto his hind legs, front paws paddling the air, curly tail spinning like a propeller. His owner, an elderly schoolteacher in Rouen, claimed she had never once given in. Her neighbours, who saw the crumbs on his whiskers, knew better. He also, they noted, had the most expressive eyebrows in all of Normandy.
This standing pug has exactly that hopeful posture, wrinkles and all. The painter has given careful attention to the folds of the face and the playful character that pug owners adore. Place it beside a framed photo of a real four-legged friend, on a bedside table, or at the front of a curio shelf where it can beg for attention from every visitor. It is the rare figure that makes people smile before they know why.
What makes it special
- A pug standing upright on its hind legs, full of personality
- Finely painted wrinkles and expressive features
- Crafted by Artoria
- A Limoges porcelain piece, hand-painted in France

Give it to the pug parent who already owns the mug, the tote bag and the calendar. It will quickly become the most admired item in their collection, and possibly the only one the real pug approves of.
