Lot 43: Swarovski Lovlots 'Salvatore The Great Dane' Dog Figurine and 'The Gang of Dogs' Mug

A Swarovski Lovlots ‘Salvatore’ The Great Dane dog figurine from ‘The Gang of Dogs’ collection, accompanied by a commemorative mug. The figurine is crafted from dark faceted crystal in a stylized dachshund form, exhibiting a modern, geometric style, and features a blue collar. It is connected via a slender dark string to an irregularly shaped cardboard tag. This tag displays a similar faceted dog against a cityscape background, with bilingual text “SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE…” and “CERTAINES CHOSES NE CHANGENT JAMAIS…”, concluded by the signature “SALVATORE.” The white ceramic or porcelain mug features a dark brown/maroon graphic silhouette of an urban cityscape, including a prominent lattice-style skyscraper. Overlaid on the cityscape is the text “THE GANG OF DOGS,” and a partial “SWAROVSKI” inscription alongside a small “2” and the distinctive Swarovski swan logo.
