This hand-blown crystal glass egg mounted on a bronze stand is so beautifull because of a gracefull and delicate snowdrop engraved in the centre of it. Snowdrop is the symbol of purity and innocence in Russia. The egg has been created in the Faberge style by a contemporary craftsman at the famous Russian glassware factory "Macgrav".
This company continues the great two-century traditions of the Russian Imperial Glass Plant, famous by its talanted cutters and engravers. Today “Macgrav” specializes in one of the most important techniques of glassware decorating, engraving. The State Hermitage, the Russian museum , the Palace museum in Peterhoff, French and USA embassies in Russia, Prince of Monaco Albert are their customers.
