MarketBasket: Hot-diggity dog

Here's a hip dachshund to grace your barbecue serving plates.

With four designs - he's sipping a margarita, on a surfboard, sporting a fedora, or ready to swim - every dog can have its day.

Created by Brooklyn-based illustrator Claudia Pearson, these porcelain dishes are perfect for hot dogs, but chic enough for anything your foodie friends might place there, too.
