Within the late tenth century, Kiev produced enamelled liturgical and some secular objects that adhered to Byzantine traditions. During the course of the 17th century the Kremlin Armoury in Moscow and various northern trading centres emerged as major bases for the manufacture of both liturgical and secular enamels while the key to the programme of westernization initiated by Peter the Great in the early 18th century was the attraction of foreign artisans who brought their own techniques to the new capital of St. Petersburg. The nineteenth century closed with a dichotomy of styles: classicizing, courtly traditions that flourished in St. Petersburg, all of which were demonstrated in the art of the pre-eminent master, Carl Faberge. However, Moscow served as the heart of the Russian revival movement, and it is the vibrantly coloured and exotic-looking revival enamels that are so highly prized by collectors today.Russia drew from many cultures to develop its own distinctive styles and methods of enamelling; its strategic location on the trade routes between western Europe and Asia, and between Scandinavia and the Byzantine and Islamic Near East was particularly relevant.The enamels illustrated in this book are from three sources: Henry Walters, the founder of the gallery in Baltimore that bears his family's name, visited St Petersburg and patronized the firm of Carl Faberge in the summer of 1900, while Marjorie Merriweather Post's superb holdings of Russian and French 18th and 19th century decorative arts are housed in the Hillwood Museum in Washington D.C. The third source is a private collector who began exploring the entire range of subjects, styles and technoques of enamelling associated with the Russian revival movement.

Spring Flowers Faberge Egg Features: Egg Dimensions: 9'' (H) X 3.75'' (W) Egg Weight: 4 lbs 6 oz (2 kg) Box Weight 5 lbs (2.25 kg) Egg Contains Music Box and Plays "For Elise" by V. Beethoven Material: Pewter, Enamel, Crystals Box Dimensions: 12.25" (W) x 11.25 (L) x 7: (H) Gift Boxed History: The Spring Flowers Egg, hallmarked with head workmaster Michael Perchin's "early" mark, is struck with the St. Petersburg's assay mark for before 1899 and appears to bear a scratched number 443 (or 4) 74, which may or may not be Faberge's inventory number. Its original fitted case is stamped with Fabergé's Imperial Warrant and the addresses of St. Petersburg, Moscow and London. These facts seem to be in apparent contradiction. The hallmark dates the egg to before 1899, the original case to after 1903, after the opening of the London Branch. Inventory numbers do not generally appear on Imperial eggs. A list of objects dated 14-20 September 1917 transferred from the Dowager Empress's Anichkov Palace to the Kremlin Armory and signed by Major-General Yerechov, 1 mentions a "purse of gilt silver in the form of an egg covered with red enamel, with a sapphire" and, separately, "a basket of flowers with diamonds, " which probably correspond to this egg and its surprise. It was sold by the State firm Antikvariat in charge of the disposals of Russian Imperial treasure, to an unspecified buyer in 1933 for 2, 000 rubles ($1, 000), later sold by A La Vieille Russie to the Long Island collector Lansdell Christie, and again by the same New York dealers to Malcolm Forbes as an Imperial egg in 1966. Muntian, based on the 1917 inventory of the Anichkov Palace, now believes that it belonged to the Dowager Empress and assumes that it was presented to her by a relative or close friend.
