This incredibly exquisite and complex Egg, made in 1901, was given by Tsar Nicholas II to the Czarina Alexandra Fedorovna for Easter 1901.It is reproduction of original Faberge Egg made by one of the masters of Faberge jeweled factory

Basket, completely studded with rose cut diamonds* accented with two diamond studded ribbon bows, mimics the shape of the Egg that is used as the basket. The basket rests on the base of the handle which, in turn, connects to a pedestal of enamel guilloché in deep blue.** The pedestal is accented by loops and circlets of rose cut diamonds that direct the eye to the white enamel guilloché Egg which is overlayed with repeats of the diamond loops that extend downward in a lattice that clothes the Egg. Just above the lattice is the date 1901. Mounted in gold* moss at the open apex of the Egg are forty some odd individual flowers in varying colors of enamel guilloché. Each flower is complete unto itself, some with fronds of gold, some with with fronds of deep green enamel and several done in gold* with tiny movable buds hanging from them. The egg stands 8 1/2\" high.
Egg is decorated with Austrian crystals and precious metals are gold plated sterling silver in the reproduction.
