Transcription: [double-headed eagle] Article No. RH-5408/5 Lilies of the Valley Ethereal flower creation developed in gems by Imperial Russia's foremost jeweler. Tiny blossoms are delicately fashioned in quartz, with centers of gold. Imbedded within gold soil in a container of brown veined agate, the blossoms and bands encircling the little tub are of 18kt. gold. To this fact full hallmarks attest. Present is the master's name "Fabergé"; the initials of one of his leading artists, Henrik Wigstroem; and the numeral "72" denoting the Russian equivalent of 18kt. gold. From the collection of a member of the Russian [Imperial] Family. Mrs. John L. Pratt February 24, 1939 FROM THE HAMMER COLLECTION – 682 FIFTH AVENUE – NEW YORK
