專家說明

In addition to producing silver mounts for works by Russia's native porcelain and glass factories, Fabergé added mounts to works in ceramic and glass by foreign manufacturers, such as Gallé, Doulton, Lötz and Tiffany. These works in the Art Nouveau style provided Fabergé with a showcase for designs at once highly inventive and sensitive to the original works. So successful was the outcome that Fabergé chose to exhibit a silver-mounted ceramic vase by Rorstrand at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900. These works with Fabergé silver mounts proved popular with members of the Imperial family, who had several examples in their private collections. A 1909 inventory of the rooms of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna in the Winter Palace records several silver-mounted pieces of Tiffany glass, among them a small scent flask (S. Harrison, et al., Artistic Luxury: Fabergé, Tiffany, Lalique, New Haven and London, 2008, pp. 202, 204).
