Further details
Marked Fabergé with the Imperial warrant, this vase was probably executed in the workshop of Feodor Rückert, who during this period produced the finest cloisonné enamel articles in Moscow. So renowned was Rückert's workmanship that Fabergé, Ovchinnikov, and other firms purchased and retailed his works. Rückert's mark is commonly not present, but in this case appears to be overstruck by the Fabergé mark.
