Made at the turn of the Twentieth Century by Carl Fabergé, this miniature sculpture is composed of rock crystal, nephrite and rhodonite. The piece takes the form of a spray of three raspberries carved in rhodonite. Nephrite makes the two leaves while the stalk is made of red gold. The small spray issues forth from a vase of rock crystal. This charming object was purchased by Queen Alexandra 1844-1925), Consort of King Edward VII who had a penchant for Fabergé.
