Balancing Act was inspired by a recent trip that Peter took to Florida's Sea World. The highlight of his visit was seeing the great Shamu perform his many tricks. All right, so he didn't actually juggle, but we bet Sea World is working on it! Peter reports that he is always torn on occasions such as these. He loves observing creatures that he will probably never see in the wild. But he felt uncomfortable watching these magnificent whales perform tricks for an audience. Within this box figurine are the carvings I'm Mashu and 50+. Peter always thought that there was just one very famous orca named Shamu, but he learned that this is a stage name and that Sea World has had over 50 of them over the years. Inscriptions on the lid include its Latin name Orcinus Orca and Mr. Big Fin, since it is the male Orca with the longer dorsal fins.

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.
