"Encore Egg"
The Encore Egg in rich cranberry hand cut lead crystal,
celebrated the 70th birthday of
Theo Fabergé. The Egg is hand painted with 23 carat gold. The seven swags each
represent 10 years in the life of Theo Fabergé. The vermeil Russian Imperial
Crown turns to open the curtain revealing a scene from Swan Lake, two ballet
dancers and a swan moving around the stage. Looking through the Egg, the painted
backdrop of water lilies can be seen. Lifting the top of the Egg reveals the two
ballet dancers in sterling silver and vermeil.
