This stunning Faberge Egg to honor the singing bird tradition is simply exquisite. A limited edition piece, it is hand-painted, 24K gold incrustation Limoges porcelain egg. Like all Faberge Imperial eggs (in the great tradition of the gifts for the Czars) each egg comes with a surprise. The surprise in this egg is a miniature Reuge (swiss-made) version of the famous singing bird in a gilded cage. The bird has real antique feathers and naturalistically moves its beak and wings as it sings. The height is 12" (most of the Imperial eggs are 7").
I confess that we have seen few modern era pieces this beautiful -- it is an instant and precious heirloom and conversation piece. This item is no longer available -- sorry.
