Antique porcelain Easter egg 5" tall 3.5" wide

[stvgilmorcpsd]

Can anybody help me out with this porcelain egg? I actually spoke with Dr. Lori Verdame about it and the most she could give me was that it is not a cheap imitation and dates from the early 1900's. There are no makers marks that i could find. Looking for any helpful information like country of origin or maker? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sounds like OP would be well-advised to remove the word "antique" from the title and description.  Assuming the purpose of posting here was not just advertising but a sincere interest in opinions.

Or send pics into an authentic auction house where it will get a quick boot!

Now that's some pretty hard-boiled advice.

This was made in recent years. It could predate the year 2000 but it is a very obvious Export Trade item. The decorated Egg is, as far as I know, a Christian emblem, Fabergé's jewellery eggs being the best-known (they were exchanged as gifts among the Russian Imperial family at Easter).
