Fabergé Friday

The few Fabergé eggs left come without much information, so for these last egg-posts I'll show you two, instead of just one!

First we have the "Bowenite Clock Egg", from 1903!



This egg - standing on three silver legs - is made of bowenite, and is decorated with silver ornaments. The dial has Roman numerals, and is framed by a silver wreath.

Then we have an egg we don't know either the name, or the date of production for.


The only information I could find about this one is that it was exhibited in India together with other Fabergé eggs and works. The middle part of the egg is covered in white enamel, and decorated with laurels and bows of multi-colored gold. The top and bottom has ornaments of blue and green enamel, and as you can see it is pretty obvious that the top of the egg is removable, and so most probably once was opened to reveal a hidden surprise...
