MOUNTAIN CRYSTAL BOWL WITH GOLD MOUNT BY FABERGÉ SAINT PETERSBURG, 1880–1890

An exquisite example of Russian decorative art of the late 19th century, crafted in the workshop of Carl Fabergé. The bowl is carved from a single piece of colorless rock crystal in the form of a coquille shell, with elegant natural asymmetry and a soft curl at the top. The surface is worked with the finest relief grooves, enhancing the fluidity and organic lightness of the form.

The vessel is set on an oval foot made of the same crystal, resting on a decorative openwork base with gold accents. The mount is crafted in 14K gold (585 standard), adorned with a typical Fabergé frieze of stylized oval pearl motifs, emphasizing the piece’s connection to the firms highest goldsmith traditions. This refined interplay of material, form, and technique demonstrates the exceptional artistic and technical level of execution.

Marks: 56 gold standard (14K); Saint Petersburg assay office mark – a woman’s head in kokoshnik facing right; Cyrillic ФАБЕРЖЕ (FABERGÉ) in an oval, corresponding to items produced by the Saint Petersburg branch of Fabergé between 1882 and 1899.
