[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 219982, member: 2844"]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.
