Fabergé Friday

So few Fabergé eggs left now...And non of them have known names...Here is the next one:

This 2,75 kilos, silver, gold and gold plate egg was kept in a collection in Eastern Europe for over fifty years.

When opened up, it reveals a beautiful sailing ship in gold.

Today's second egg was made sometime before 1896:

This gold egg is covered in white enamel, and decorated with laurel wreaths and bows of different colored gold. 340 diamonds, and 28 cabochon rubies also deck it's surface.

The surprise consist of a gold basket filled with gold flowers covered in white enamel, with green enamel leaves, and ruby centers.

So, here comes two more Fabergé eggs without much information attached to them. The first one is the "Nephrite Bonbonnière Egg", from somewhere between 1908 and 1917!

As it's name states, this egg is made of nephrite. Around it runs a band of gold and white enamel, decorated with five ties set with rose-cut diamonds. On June 8, 2010, it was sold at Christie's, London.

The second egg for today, is one for which we don't know either the name or the year of creation.

This egg is made of heavy, emerald green glass, decorated with enamel flowers and leaf motives in different colors, as well as the two-headed Imperial eagle. The egg rests on a metal base, standing on three pairs of legs fashioned like deer legs and hoofs. On the bottom of the glass the word "Fabergé" is etched, together with the numbers "0025". This egg is now kept in a private collection.

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...
