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! Date: 20th Century Overall Condition: It is in overall good, as-pictured, used estate condition. There are a few round concussion marks here and there, loss to one ear, a small fracture in one nostril (likely from the carving), some edge wear, and some very fine & light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age Maker: Possibly from Idar Oberstein (or one of the Russian houses...

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!

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...
