About this work
Cream-colored bear. The body is shaped as a jug, while the removable head serves as a drinking cup. The nose is pierced for a missing ring, and around its neck the bear wears a collar. The surface is decorated with clay shards. Teeth, claws, and other details are accentuated with brown slip. Between the front legs, a dog jumps up against the bear, also accentuated with brown slip.
