A most exceptionally fine gold gilt silver ash tray, beautifully chased and enameled in a very fine shade of canary yellow transparent enamel, supported by three ball feet; studded in the front with a beautiful round moonstone and an oval moonstone at the top of the handle.
A fine example of the creations of the famous Russian Court Jeweler, Carl Faberge [sic], who was often referred to as the Cellini of the 19th Century.
