Description
Mademoiselle Pépite weighed less than a bag of flour and behaved as though she owned the Tuileries. Every morning she trotted along the gravel paths with her coat brushed to a shine, pausing only to stare down a pigeon or accept a compliment from a passing gardener. Her owner, an elderly milliner, said the dog had better posture than most of her clients. She wore a tiny velvet bow on Sundays, and on her birthday the gardeners saved her a bit of croissant.
This Yorkshire terrier brings that small, confident grace indoors. The fine detail of the coat and face is set off by vibrant colour and a glossy finish that catches the lamplight. It suits a dressing table beside a silver hairbrush, a desk where a real Yorkie naps underneath, or a sunny shelf with other canine treasures. Open it, and there is just enough space inside for a lucky charm or a pair of earrings. Collectors who already own a small pack of porcelain dogs will find she holds her own in any company.
