This limited edition porcelain “Puppy“Platter by Jeff Koons is from 1992 and a special edition for San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

One of the photos shown depicts one of the actual "Puppy" installations depicted on the plate.
The overall size of the Plate is 11 x 15 inches.
The plate is in mint condition, with no chips, cracks or any other defects.
From the Guggenheim Museums website:
"In Puppy, Koons engages both past and present, employing sophisticated computer modeling while referencing the 18th-century formal garden. A behemoth West Highland terrier carpeted in bedding plants, Puppy combines the most saccharine of iconography—flowers and puppies—in a monument to the sentimental. Its size—seemingly out-of-control (it is both literally and figuratively still growing) but carefully constructed and tightly contained—can be read as an analogue of contemporary culture. Dignified and stalwart, this work fills us with awe, and even joy, while standing guard at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. In keeping with themes in his past work, Koons has, by combining elite references (topiary and dog breeding) with those of the masses (Chia Pets and Hallmark greeting cards), designed this public sculpture to relentlessly entice, to create optimism, and to instill, in his own words, “confidence and security."" less
