Secrets:
This group of four dogs has raided the artist’s dustbin (trash can) outside his house at number 48. One wears a collar and another dangles a chain leash, suggesting that he has just escaped from his owner. The mouse is located in the discarded bones. One of The Harmony Circus Ringmaster’s boots can be found inside, sometimes the left boot and other times the right. The first 1446 pieces had a heavily painted red dog (until August 1996), after which the colour was subdued. The name of the piece has had multiple spellings. Hallmarks include ©, diamond, mirror image clock face with month 7, HBC logo, and Pc.
When Lisa Yashon at Harmony Ball decided to sell their Harmony Kingdom archives, that was a quick yes from me! This piece comes directly from the manufacturer, and has been checked for damage, arriving in the original box. So glad to have these great pieces back! ~ Jules
