Old Signed Carved Nephrite Jade German / Russian Hippopotamus Figure
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A very fine carved Nephrite Jade hippopotamus figurine.
Likely the work of the German lapidary carvers in Idar Oberstein (or possibly Russian in origin).
The feet of the hippo have numbered inscription or signature.
Simply a great carving!

20th Century

Fabergé Imperial Russian Nephrite Duckling with Garnet Eyes and Silver Hallmarks
By Fabergé
Located in Chesterland, OH
Let us introduce another exquisite piece from our beloved collection — a stone figurine by the renowned Carl Fabergé firm. This delightful duckling is carved from genuine Russian nephrite, featuring garnet eyes framed in gold. The duckling’s feet are made of imperial Russian silver of 88 standard.
Both feet bear hallmarks: on the right foot, the Cyrillic initials "КФ" (Carl Fabergé), a kokoshnik head, and the 88 silver standard; the left foot carries the same markings, including the master’s initials "КФ" and identical quality stamps.
This figurine enchants with its charm, exceptional detailing, and substantial weight. Approximate dimensions:
Height: 66.3 mm
Length: 70 mm
Weight: 135 grams
Unfortunately, the original box is not included, as it was likely lost long ago.
A true treasure for collectors and admirers of Fabergé craftsmanship!
I would like to share with you an interesting piece of information: a similar figurine of a duckling made of gold-mounted chalcedony, with rose-cut diamond set eyes and gold feet in the original fitted case, was sold at one of the well-known auctions. It was valued at £20,000-£30,000.
Our figurine is not decorated with precious stones and does not have gold feet, and the only golden detail is the frame of her eyes, it is made of Russian jade...
