After the 2004 election, half of the U.S. citizenry rejoiced and the other half shrugged or cried. Even though Bush beat Kerry by just 2.7 percentage points (the smallest margin of victory for a re-elected U.S. president since 1828), the Republicans hit the trifecta. Except for the few months in 2001 before Senator Jim Jeffords quit the Republican Party, the 2005 Congress will be the first time in 50 years that the Republicans control the White House, Senate and House of Representatives. For now the elephants embrace, but how long will the honeymoon last? Can a compassionately conservative pachyderm put up with her reactionary rank-and-file spouse? 128 carved into the lid lip signifies that this is carver David Lawrence’s 128th piece for Harmony Kingdom. His signature acorn is tucked behind one of the four ears.

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.
