thumb The Nobel Ice Egg, (phonetic: ()) sometimes also referred to as the Snowflake egg, is a jewelled enamelled Fabergé Easter egg made under the supervision of the Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé, for the Swedish-Russian oil baron and industrialist Emanuel Nobel between 1913 and 1914. ==History== The egg was made between 1913 and 1914 for Emanuel Nobel, the Swedish-Russian oil Baron, son of Ludvig Nobel, and one of Fabergé's best customers. Franz Birbaum, Fabergé's head workmaster, recalls that Emanuel Nobel "was so generous in his presents that at times it seemed that this was his chief occupation and delight. Orders were constantly being made for him in the workshops and from time to time he came to have a look at them. Often he only decided for whom the present should be when the work was finished." After the Russian Revolution, it was sold to the Parisian dealer A. A. Anatra, whom subsequently sold it to Mr. Jacques Zolotnitzky, of A La Vieille Russie, in Paris. It was later sold to a North-American collector. In 1994 it was sold at Christie's, in Geneva, for several hundred thousand dollars. The Nobel Ice egg's current owner is Artie and Dorothy McFerrin of Houston and is being displayed at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nobel Ice」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
