A Fabergé Cloisonné Enameled Gilt Silver Two-Handled Vase
Fabergé, Feodor Rückert, Moscow, 1899-1908
7-7/8 x 4-3/4 x 3-5/8 inches (20.0 x 12.1 x 9.2 cm)
523 grams (16.8151 troy ounces)
This extraordinary gilt silver and enamel vase was made by the artist-enameller Feodor Rückert, who was a main supplier of inventive Russian style cloisonné enamel for Fabergé's Moscow store.
This unusual work exhibits signature Rückert flourishes on the neck in the "old Russian" style for which he was justly famous, but the body of the vase owes more to the Art Nouveau with its motion-filled profusion of passion flowers and leaves.
A related waiter, with similar passion flower decoration, also stamped Fabergé Moscow was sold and illustrated, Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, Russian Works of Art, December 10, 1976, lot 418.
