Harmony
Ball concentrates on beautiful gift items, while
its well-known subsidiary, Harmony
Kingdom®, offers fine collectibles. Harmony
Ball lines offered by Toni's Collectibles include Pot Bellys,
Jardinia, Byron's Bouquets, Lynda Pleet Menagerie, Gigglees,
and Chiming Spheres..
Pot Bellys
are miniature figurines with secret compartments,
accessed by removing the pieces top, for storing tiny
treasures. Here you will find darling tiny boxes depicting
everything from a dentist to a dinosaur, a sumo wrestler to
a world leader. The original models are carved at Martin Perry
Studios in Gloucestershire, England, and cast using crushed
marble, after which they are hand-painted and tinted. Each
Pot Belly includes a trading card that provides facts
about the particular piece. Pot Bellys collections include:
Baby

are longing for a family and home of their own

Jardinia
cachepots are stylish and imaginative vases, urns, and boxes
with a French country flavor. Offered in a variety of shapes,
sizes, and styles, the collection is as visually compelling
as it is functional. These are carved jars of spectacular
beauty. Carved with graceful bas-relief designs, Jardinia's
warm ivory look and feel result from the use of a special
crushed marble medium.
Byron's
Bouquets®
are the latest from Lord Byron, who sought adventure and found
his true love in Lord
Byron's Harmony Garden. Now that he's found
his lady bug, Annabella, his story continues in Byron's Bouquets.
Follow this delightful family as their little baby bug grows.
Each gorgeous bloom-filled basket of the Byron's Bouquets
series is cast in crushed marble and delicately hand-tinted
in shades just right for baby.
Lynda
Pleet Menagerie
consists of stylized dog and cat figurines ranging in size
from about 4" to approximately 16".
Gigglees
were made for the express purpose of making you giggle. Some
Gigglees are boxes and others are two-part constructions that
rock and roll atop a base. Inspired by the wit and simplicity
of antique toys, these creatures all sport an infectious smile
and a mirthful spirit.
Chiming
Spheres
were first used by the ancient Celts as meditative devices.
Gently shaking the spheres to create a mystical bell-like
sound was a way to communicate with nature. In the early 20th
century, a German silversmith found an original Druid bell
in an antique shop and recreated the spheres in small quantities.
Harmony Ball continues this tradition with individually handcrafted
chiming spheres and jewelry. Use them to reduce stress, introduce
tranquility and intrigue to your wardrobe, or to carry music
wherever you go.
