Do you know which decorated Easter egg sold for the most money in all of history?

 

It is this Imperial Easter Egg designed by Carl Fabergé for the Russian Emperor Alexander III. Alexander gave it to Empress Maria Feodorovna on Easter in 1887. During the Bolshevik revolution the egg was lost. The egg was recently found in the midwest here in the States in 2014. A metal dealer bought it at an antique show for 14,000.00 and hoped to resell it for 15,000.00. Unfortunately he could not find a buyer so he just decided to google the word egg and soon found out that his egg was indeed one of the 50 Fabergé eggs made for Alexander III. The man soon connected with a antique dealer in London who bought it from him for $33 Million dollars. Now I would say that is very good nest egg money.

Well for sure my 2017 Easter Eggs are not quite that expensive and in fact I think you will find them quit reasonable. I have 7 new designs for 2017 and have added 3 popular designs from past years giving you lots of choice. Although my eggs are not jeweled they are made with love, patience and care. I hope you will find a few that delight your soul and will add color to your spring and Easter celebrations. These also make delightful gifts for friends and relatives especially if you are invited out for Easter dinner and want to give your host a thank you gift.

The eggs below have special Christian symbols and the descriptions are below the photo

ΙΧΘΥΣ

Is Greek which in English translates, Jesus Christ, Son of God, The Savior.

Early Christians used the fish symbol on their homes to identify themselves as followers of Jesus.

Alpha  the Omega are the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet and refer to the beginning and the end. 

In the the book of Revelation, Jesus is named The Alpha and The Omega.

 

 

The Christian symbol for faith is a cross. An anchor is often used to depict hope and a heart symbolizes love.

I could not resist making an Easter bunny and  Easter Chick. These are made of paper clay and painted in acrylics and sealed with a durable gloss varnish. Because each one is hand sculpted no two are exactly a like but they are very similar. You can purchase them by Clicking Here.

I want to wish all my readers a beautiful spring and warm spring filled with hope and promise. This winter has seemed particularly long here in Helena.
