Specialist note

The design of this cream jug combines the elements of Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles. Made before the turn of the century, it is a strikingly modern looking piece by Fabergé. The combination of decorative elements from different styles exemplifies Fabergé’s mastery in creating entirely unique works of art.
