Peter loves to watch TV wildlife documentaries, and in this piece, he turns the table by giving the zebra the chance to dominate its predator. Here the zebra sits firmly upon a lioness that has Swiss Army knife claws, a bandage from a previous wound, and a pierced tongue. Under the front leg of the zebra, the mouse makes a full appearance, baring paws, stomach, bottom and tail as he mirrors the zebra’s courage. Around the base of the lid is the Latin inscription, “Mites possidebunt terram” meaning “The meek shall inherit the earth.” There is no inner carving except for HBC logo. Hallmarks include ©, heart, HBC logo, ed.#, and Pc.
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.
