Joan Rivers Imperial Treasures II “The Lily of the Valley Egg”

Welcome to the elegant world of Russian inspired art - vintage JR collectors piece - a true work of art! Like new, kept in box and has all original certificates of authenticity - ready for gifting. 4” with stand. Inspired by the egg given to Alexandra by her husband Czar Nicholas II for Easter in 1898, it is intricately designed in the Art Nouveau style. This treasure is formed of a delicate shell of iridescent pink enamel entwined with simulated pearls and Austrian crystals. The imperial crown finial, surmounting the top portion of the egg, houses one of the most unique surprises … a magnifying optical cabochon featuring a secret message in Russian Cyrillic. The translation reads “Bless this home and all the occupants within.”
