  This is the first Imperial Easter Egg made by Peter Carl Faberge for Czar Alexander III. This was the beginning of a tradition that would last for 32 years. Easter is the most important celebration of the Russian Church year, as significant as Christmas is in the West. The Imperial Hen Egg is enameled in opaque white and polished to give the effect of eggshell. The shell conceals a removable matte yellow-gold yolk. Inside the yolk is an egg pendant to wear. Height 3" with stand. Available in Pink, Green, Light Blue, White, Lavender.
