FABERGE Ruby Engraved and Gilded glass egg - anyone read Russian?

(1/3) > >>

josordoni:
Does anyone read Russian to tell me what this label is saying?  It is on a lovely little engraved and gilded Russian egg.

Thanks!

MODIFIED:  I've got the middle bit, K Faberge St Petersburg.... anyone seen a Faberge label to know roughly how old this might be?

Lustrousstone:
Looks a bit like the one in this thread. I can't see the letters clearly enough to try transliterating

josordoni:
Thanks!  It does indeed look like those ones, but the labels for the modern pieces have English on them as well as the Cyrillic. So either this is a bit older, or made for the Russian market I suppose?

I have loaded it to my website where it is a bit bigger, and I've played around with the contrast so see if this helps at all.

KevinH:
These are modern coloured glass items in the style of Faberge eggs, usually with gold decoration (sometimes [or always??] 22ct gold) filling the engraved parts. I think they are all hollow, too.

Lots of them about.

Cheapest range seems to be via eBay where presumably bulk stocks have been purchased for resale. A couple of other (and more expensive) sources are:

http://www.rus-sell.com/faberge/catalog11.html

For what they are, they are well made decorative items.

I wouldn't regard any of the labels on these pieces as other than generic.

josordoni:
Hi Kev, I have no problem if the egg is modern, but all the labels that are shown for the ones on ebay or elsewhere (and believe me, I've looked a lot of eggy labels today...) all have some English on them and often state "Modern" also in English. 

My label has no English on it anywhere, so I would assume it was made for the local market?  If so, what does it say?
