Punch went viral after he was abandoned at just a few days old. His teddy became his only friend in the world and photographs of their tender cuddles moved even the hardest of hearts.
The grill has been created by Homer the Jeweller. Renowned for his detailed work, he used traditional lost-wax casting to form the gold base before painstakingly hand-painting Punch and his stuffed companion.
