This exceptional kovsh by Feodor Rückert for Fabergé Moscow circa 1910, is unusual with its horse-form silhouetted handle and allover decoration. It is a unique interpretation of the "Old Russian" style in which Rückert lends an art nouveau feel to the whirling lilies that decorate the sides of this traditionally shaped vessel. Research has revealed that the piece was shipped abroad for sale, and was purchased by H.H. Ganga Singh, the Maharajah of Bikaner, GCSI, GCIE, GCVO, GBE, KCB, GCStJ, from the London branch of Fabergé on July 1, 1911 at a cost of 41 guineas.
