2001 Harmony Kingdom Planet Dustbin Earth Box Figurine

This authentic marble resin box figurine originates from a nostalgic era of highly detailed English cottage industry art collectibles, masterfully carved by master artist Peter Calvesbert as part of the Small Treasure Jest subset within the Treasure Jest collection. Hand-carved in 2001 and released for global distribution in mid-2001, this retired piece features an editorial environmental theme depicting the planet as a corrugated trash can wrapped in a world map. The unique two-piece screw-top construction features detailed exterior elements, including polar bears on the lid, penguins lining the base, a "No Fish" sign in the North Atlantic, and numbers pointing out regional carbon output. The hollow interior opens to reveal a signature hidden surprise scene filled with a pile of discarded cans burying the classic artist mouse. This vintage piece comes complete with its original green collection box and official secondary literature.
