The MP 5 Limited Edition was inspired by Faberge's Blue Serpent Clock Egg. This
piece was presented to Empress Maria Fedorovna in 1887, by her husband Tsar Alexander III.During a visit to Russia, Consuelo Vanderbilt, the Duchess of
Marlborough saw the Imperial Blue Serpent Clock Egg. Shortly thereafter, Faberge was commissioned to recreate the design, and it was completed in 1902 in
Pink and Gold. This piece was the only egg to be made for an American.
The barrel and all metal parts including the Serpent Clip of this marvelous
piece of art are sculpted from .925 sterling silver. This piece is engraved using a unique process resulting in independent strokes around the barrel to
form the guilloche pattern.
Each MP5 model is limited in production to only 188 of each color with an 18kt nib available in either fine, medium or
broad.
