Odessa Egg

The Odesa Egg completes the series of four creations by Theo Fabergé inspired by the magnificent architecture of the four great cities of former Russia, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kyiv and Odesa, where Carl Fabergé had his shops and workshops. The Odessa Egg, portraying the Hero City as it was known in Russia, is stylised with an adaptation of the Potemkin Steps. The Russian double-headed eagle looks toward both Europe and Asia.

The sterling silver Egg, with 18-karat gold, is surmounted by the Imperial Crown and detailed with crossed anchors.

Within the Egg, a miniature vermeil screen enhanced with naval images. Within the screen, the hand-woven silk brocade of the Russian double-headed eagle.
