Peter Carl Fabergé (1846-1920), was the renowned
Russian jeweller to the Czars, noted for his artistry,
innovation and high craftsmanship. He is best known
for the famous Fabergé eggs. His close relationship
with the Imperial Russian family meant that he had
access to the important Hermitage Collection, where
he was able to study and find inspiration from various
cultures, including Scythian goldwork, for developing
his unique personal style.The richly speckled green
171 jade of the present dish is complemented by the
restrained carving which allows the quality of the
stone to be of primary consideration for the viewer.
