Perfect silver Faberge vase crafted circa 1908-1917, just before the Bolshevik take-over of the company and when Faberge produced its most exquisite objects. Ribbed bombe vase on a circular foot features applied filigree and cloisonne in white, blue, sea green and purple enamels. Stamped in Russian, ''K. Faberge'' with the imperial warrant, Moscow and also ''91''. The inventory number is engraved clearly: ''35280''. A stylized V-shaped stamped character is likely a Faberge workmaster's mark. Measures 4.25'' in height and 5.5'' deep at its widest. The diameter of the mouth measures 4.75'' and the base, 3.75''. Light tarnishing with occasional scratching and loss of colored enamel, else near fine. A beautiful representation of the Faberge company during Imperial Russia.
