Fabergé Friday

Who could ever live without being in the possession of a glue pot?! Well, probably anyone... But if the glue pot was made by Fabergé - like this one - you might want it anyway. It was made by workmaster Feodor Afanassiev, sometime between the years 1896 and 1908!

The pear-shaped pot is covered in pale green enamel over a guilloché ground, and has a circular gold foot chased with a foliate border. The two-colored beaded neck is fitted with a brush that has a fluted gold handle, with a cabochon ruby set in a gold petalled cup at the top. It's dimensions are 2'' x 1.3'' x 1.3'' (5 x 3.4 x 3.4 cm), and it can be found in the Royal Collection.

Fabergé Friday And Full Moon

As today's Fabergé Friday coincides with the full moon, I made sure to find an object that resembles the moon. And this is what I found - a little box made by workmaster Feodor Afanassiev, sometime between the years 1896 and 1908!

The ovoid gold box is covered in oyster enamel over a guilloché ground. The laurel border around the lid is in two-colored gold, with a diamond set thumb-piece. The center of the lid is set with a cabochon ruby. The size of the box is 0.8'' x 2.1'' x 1.6'' (2.1 x 5.3 x 4.0 cm), and since 1953 it belongs in the Royal Collection.
