S e c r e t s:
A turkey peers out from amid the goodies spilling from a cornucopia, or horn of plenty. Squashed among the pumpkins you’ll find Peter Calvesbert’s signature mouse. 'Pete' is carved on the underside of the back of the cornucopia. 'Nelly' on the underside of a loaf of bread is a possible name for his second child. The shell comes from the artist’s son, Sam, who spent his first seaside holiday at Tenby Beach in Wales. There are 2700 pieces worldwide with the standard coloring and 360 pieces worldwide with vivid coloring. The standard US interior shows a cooked turkey on a table. A special variation for the US shows a mouse on the platter (495 pieces). A special variation in the UK shows a fly on the plate (45 pieces). There is also a unique jeweled version, of which only one was made.
