Transcription: [double-headed eagle] VIOLET Jeweled violet fashioned in 18 kt. gold, the diamond-centered blossom naturalistically textured with an overlay of matte enamel, leaves wrought in Siberian nephrite. Resting in its vase of rock crystal carved to represent a tiny tumbler filled with water, the flowerette [sic] inclines gracefully on its slender stem as if borne to one side by the weight of its petals. Mady [sic] by Karl Faberge, illustrious court jeweler and in the master's best style, the little fantasy bears the assay mark of London in which city it was found. Number 5756-19 Mrs. John L. Pratt December 4, 1940 FROM THE HAMMER COLLECTION – 682 FIFTH AVENUE – NEW YORK
