A Better Bowl

A spaniel bowl, as any spaniel owner will tell you, is designed with a narrow mouth so that the dog’s long, silky ears don’t get covered with food. Practical? Very. Attractive? Yes, if it’s one of these hand-painted stoneware bowls imported from England. Available at The Pet Department in West Los Angeles, Santa Monica, West Hollywood; Pat’s Pets in Orange; Peggy Wood in Burbank. From $4 to $14.
