Secrets:
Fragonard is a famous perfumery in France. A lovelorn
pig has decided he’ll need a large bottle of the
wonderful scent to conceal the odor of the sty while
on his romantic escapades. One trotter clutches the
“Pig Breeders’ Gazette” – has
he been reading the personal ads? In the other trotter
he holds a bunch of roses. The sack in front of him
contains “Pork Scratchings,” a fried pig
skin “snack” often found for sale in pubs.
One evening at the pub David’s friend broke a
tooth while munching on scratchings. On the interior
we find a tooth and the carving “No Wis.”
This is the 123rd box figurine David has carved for
Harmony Kingdom.

Variation:
"Harmony Kingdom has released a special variation
of the box figurine "Fragonard." To the surprise
and delight of HK fans, the variation was not announced
by Harmony Kingdom, but was discovered by our collectors!
"Fragonard"
is a lovelorn pig with a trotter full of posies, hoping
for a date. This Treasure Jest is packed with amusing
secrets, from the "Pig Breeders' Gazette"
newsletter to the sack of pork rinds at the pig’s
feet. The name "Fragonard" itself references
a famous French perfumery. A large perfume atomizer
completes the box figurine.
But
for only 250 "Fragonard" figurines, his lovely
bouquet of flowers is replaced by...a mug full of beer!"
