A Nephrite Bowl
By Fabergé, Moscow, circa 1900, scratched inventory number 28373
Formed as a recumbent pigeon on tapered foot, with gold-set ruby eyes, in an associated silk and velvet lined wood case stamped 'K. Fabergé Moscow' beneath the Imperial warrant, scratched with inventory number under base
2¼ in. (6 cm.) long

Almost certainly acquired by Ivy Cavendish-Bentinck, née Gordon-Lennox (1887-1982), Duchess of Portland.
Thence by family descent.

Note du spécialiste

A pair of nephrite bowls of similar size and formed with perching birds was included in the Fabergé-Cartier, Rivalen am Zarenhof Exhibition. See G. von Habsburg, Fabergé-Cartier, Rivalen am Zarenhof, Munich, 2003-2004, p. 257, No. 380, illustrated.
