Peter's brightly tinted frog box figurine is based on tree frogs found in the world's rainforests. Colourful creatures often use their vibrancy as a warning to predators to keep away. While Peter was researching this model, he learned that there is a word for it Aposematic. Crypsis, on the other hand, describes creatures that blend in with their surroundings to hide from predators. The letters K.I.T.W are inscribed on this fixed edition box figurine and reference the eccentric artist Kit Williams, best known for an illustrated book containing clues to the whereabouts of a hidden golden hare. Peter still has his old copy. A recent radio programme about Kit's life prompted him to go online and discover, once and for all, the secrets of the book.

Although Harmony Kingdom is still manufactured at Wimberley Mills near Stroud in Gloucestershire, since Martin Perry, the founder retired in August 2005, marketing and shipping of the pieces is done from the USA office at Harmony Ball Company in Ohio. This means that we have to consolidate our orders before having them shipped to us. We are currently taking deliveries about every 6 weeks and so there may be a delay with your order if the piece is not already in stock. We will advise by email. Hope this doesn't cause a problem.
