Stuart Devlin Silver Gilt Novelty Egg with Humming Bird
About the Item
A highly collectable and delightful silver gilt novelty egg containing a hummingbird by renowned silversmith and artist Stuart Devlin (Australian, 1931-2018) and dated 1977.
Stuart Devlin created a range of silver gilt eggs each themed with differing content which would create a surprise for the beholder opening the egg. He also produced a large range of more utilitarian wears which, along with the eggs, have today become highly sought after and collectable.
This finely and heavily made egg has a textured patterned finish and was made in a limited edition of 300 with this example being number 46. The base of the egg is mounted internally with a central gilded grass like plant with stems, some mounted with seed pearls and others with small round terminals mounted on a polished silver base and with a silver hummingbird mounted on a spring and feeding from the plant. The egg is numbered 46 to the base along with SD makers marks and London silver assay marks dating the egg to 1977.
