Imperial
Rosebud Egg
(1895)
A gift from Czar
Nicolas II to Alexandra in 1895. Rows of diamonds edged with white enamel
on gold divide the egg into panels, set on a background of translucent,
wave patterned, red enamel. The egg is known as the rosebud egg, becuase
it contained an enamel rosebud as a suprise, placed inside the original
gift.

TBI's carefully
designed, top quality tin egg is inspired by the priceless original
of Carl Fabergé. It measures 69mm wide by 110mm in length.
TBI's designers
have patterned the inside of the egg with an authentic velvety
red background and gold trellis overlay, in keeping with the originals,
but without attempting to reproduce their wonderful suprise interiors
