The Winter Egg – A Jewel of Ice
The Winter Egg (1893) is one of the most expensive and stunning Fabergé eggs ever made. Designed to resemble a frozen wonderland, it is covered in rock crystal and diamonds, giving it the appearance of delicate ice. Inside, it holds a basket of anemones, symbolizing spring’s arrival after a long winter.
This egg, given to Empress Maria Feodorovna (mother of Nikolai II), was a true Easter masterpiece. In 2002, it was sold for over $9 million, making it one of the priciest Fabergé creations ever. Today, it remains a symbol of the luxury and craftsmanship of the Russian Imperial Court.
