Buyer's premium:

This lot presents a collection of decorative egg-shaped objects and polished spheres, primarily crafted from various natural stones, displayed across two tiers. The top tier features five polished stone eggs of differing sizes and geological compositions, exhibiting natural banding and veining in shades of green, cream, brown, orange, and white, each supported by a uniform gilt or brass-toned metal tripod stand. Adjacent is a lidded porcelain egg, decorated with cobalt blue and gold accents, featuring a central hand-painted floral cartouche. The bottom tier includes several larger polished stone eggs, such as a creamy white example and a multi-colored specimen with red, yellow, and brown banding, alongside smaller mottled stone eggs. Also present are three polished purple crystal spheres, one clear crystal sphere with internal inclusions, a grey/white mottled egg, a smaller irregular white/black stone, and a small yellow-green tumbled stone; some are presented on small clear acrylic or dark wooden stands. No visible text or markings are discernible on any of the items.
