Harmony Kingdom Holding Court Penguins Figurine / Container

This fun piece was the first non-box made by Harmony Kingdom. Originally distributed to dealers as a display stand for brochures, the "holder" was so popular that by demand Harmony Kingdom, the UK-based manufacturer, issued it to the enthusiastic Harmony Kingdom fans as part of its Treasure Jest Series.

It is also one the largest offerings from Harmony Kingdom. Designed by Peter Calvesbert, the piece is 5.31 x 4.02 x 3.19". It was retired from production in May 2001.

Material: Handmade of crushed marble and resin in the tradition of the English cottage industry.

This specimen is in excellent condition with green felt on the bottom and comes with its original round green box.

be sure to look at all of our photos to read the penguin graffiti on the back!

Penguin lovers, in particular, will cherish Holding Court. Made to hold brochures, it has been holding spare bookmarks at our house, could hold a variety of items in its opening which is 4.5" wide, 2.25" deep, and .5" from to back.

Here is how Harmony Kingdom and designer Peter Calvesbert describe Holding Court:

This piece features seventeen birds and graffiti galore. Most of the writing refers to different species of penguins: "Chinstraps have big heads," "Kings eat yellow snow," "Gentoos do it every year,""Emperor posers," "Rockhoppers rule," "Gentoos have snow balls." In the upper left hand corner of the fence is a heart with the initials "PC" and "AR". Also on this fence is a "Wanted" poster for Mad Murphy, who makes his first appearance here. There is no mouse.
