Posh pooch owners are lapping their pets up in luxury by paying £1,500 for 22ct gold lined fine china DOG BOWLS. Ceramacist and designer Peter Ting has created the six different unique bowls for dog lovers and has already sold three of them for the staggering price tag. He deconstructs traditional Royal Crown Derby china in Imari patterns and reassembles them into a contemporary collage for the bowls. Especially designed for limited editions fine art specialists 20LTD, the firm trialled the purchases on the firm's website to assess their popularity. Managing Editor Marcus Husselby explained the interest in the bowls had been so encouraging it prompted three sales in just a matter of days. He said: "Peter wonderfully crafts these items, they are incredible. I'm not sure how many dogs will ever get the privilege to drink out of them but I'm sure one lucky dog might. "Really though they're far too decorative and unique for the a dog to get close to and we think buyers are more likely to put them on the wall along with other special china. "They're completely unique. We never thought there might be a market for this, we simply thought we'd test the water to see what reaction they got and three have sold to date." Peter works on the factory floor at Royal Crown Derby and personally creates each piece just like a tailor by joining, matching, overlapping pattern upon pattern and colour against colour.
