Russian Orthodox porcelain Easter egg. Handpainted or transfer?

I was wondering about this signed Russian Orthodox porcelain Easter egg. Is it a transferprint, handpainted, or a bit of both?
There is some wear to the gilding, the Christ figure used to have a cross in his left hand, you can still see a thin black stripe running over his robe and a faint cross in the gold.
I see the initials on a lot of Russian Easter eggs, I think they stand for 'Christ has risen' (resurrection).
My mother probably bought this in the late 70s or early 80s.
And any ideas of the value? And possibly the maker?
Thanks.

 

Porcelain Easter eggs are very typical for Russia. First porcelain eggs were made in XVIII century and they were very expensive. Now it is mainly tourist souvenirs and are relatively cheap. The images are mainly printed.

 

Thanks Natasha. I knew I could count on you.
Am I right about the initials standing for something like 'Christ has risen'? Could you give me the Russian wording and the translation?

 

Yes, you are right about the initials. In Russian ХРИСТОС ВОСКРЕС, exactly CHRIST IS RISEN

 

Wonderful, thank you.
I also have a Bulgarian easter egg somewhere, if I remember correctly it is signed by the artist. So I might ask for your help soon, you could probably figure the name out.

 

Okay, I will be glad to help. Do you have Ukrainian Easter eggs?

 

I think I do, I'd have to look. I do remember those wax-technique painted eggs.
It was all my mother's stuff, and after she passed I gave most Easter eggs to a collector friend of hers.
