| Dog Trough used by a cat! |

I usually think of a trough as a feeder for farmyard animals such as cows, pigs, sheep, and goats. However, the small bowl seen here is known as a dog trough. It is quite small, 7 inches long by 5.5 inches wide by 3 inches high, so it would have been used for a small dog. Hopefully, a small dog with good manners, as dogs have been known to be quite rowdy with their food. This trough or dog bowl was made by Copeland & Garrett (1833-1847) in the British Flowers pattern.
The middle photo shows the perfect Persian cat, Mykonos, feeding from the bowl. If you are going to use an antique piece of pottery as a food bowl for a pet, I suggest giving it to a cat.
