Harmony Kingdom Pig Hog Treasure Chest

Harmony Kingdom Pig Hog Treasure Chest

Apple inside

Before Harmony Kingdom became the business it is today, founder Martin Perry was making the netsuke-style boxes under the business name of Antiquark. In 1990, he had hired another company to finish and market the boxes. This company would mark "SAC" on the pieces to identify their company. Antiquark began to market and finish the boxes themselves during the early 1990s, and by 1995 the SAC company was no longer working with Mr. Perry. About that time Harmony Kingdom was started with Noel Wiggins and Lisa Yashon. Some boxes with the "SAC" engraving survived. This early box figurine has a remnant of the "SAC" on the base between the legs of one of the light brown pigs. The area is light and mainly the "C" remains.

Harmony Kingdom boxes are hand crafted, using marble resin, from original carvings. Then each is hand painted and tinted for a one-of-a-kind figurine. The boxes are hand painted by citizens of the rural English countryside of the South Cotswolds. There are differences in colorations on each piece. "Pen Pals" is so cute, and the expressions on the pigs' faces have such personality. If you collect pig things, this would be a great addition to a collection.
