Joan’s Dog Bowl Sells For $14,000
Joan Rivers’ dog’s bowl sold at auction for $14,000. Her beloved Yorkie Spike’s Tiffany & Co. dinnerware was expected to go for up to $800 on Wednesday in a Christie’s sale of the late comic’s belongings. But bidding rocketed to $13,750. The sale, benefiting God’s Love We Deliver as well as Rivers’ heirs, raised a total of $2.2 million with the highest bid going for an 1898 Fabergé frame for $245,000. A pair of Louis XVI-style settees sold for $37,500, and bidding on a faux-ivory Penhaligon’s toilette set reached $4,000.
