The Tropical Egg 1992, A Theo Faberge Limited Edition Decorative Egg, Boxed

The Tropical Egg 1992, A Theo Faberge Limited Edition Decorative Egg with original box, Hallmarked and numbered #179. Made in England. H 7". The Tropical Egg is a testament to Theo Faberge's concern for the world's environment. The vermeil tree is abundant with flowering hand enameled leaves gilded on to the exterior of the lead crystal Egg, symbolizing the sanctuary of the earth's forests. Within the Egg, an exotic parrot made of zoisite, with a yellow jasper beak and cabochon ruby eyes is perched in the branches of the tree. The bird symbolizes the majesty of earth's wildlife, also its vulnerability. The Egg can be removed to reveal the parrot sitting in the bare tree, serving as a warning to the possible plight of nature at the hands of humans.
