Need Help Identifying an Egg

[DerBayz]

My husband found this pewter (I think) egg. There are no markings that I can see but would love to learn more about it. Has anyone seen an egg like this before? It is about 3 1/2" tall.

Thank you.

Russia was know for making ornate "eggs". I don't know if that is what you have or not but have a look at these.https://www.google.com/search?q=rus...v&sa=X&ei=9CB3VYOWDsGjsAXco4OYCg&ved=0CB4QsAQ

I guess it could be an ornament, but how would you hang it on the tree there is no place for the hanger.

I looked at the google search, they are the same results that I received. It is just so interesting, I would really love to learn more, but can't find any information.

Well that is pretty dang close to my egg. I didn't consider that it could be silver, I assume it was pewter.

This was my first thought, except for the "Chinese" part. Need to test it for silver.

The hanger would be inserted into the hole at one end and hung on the tree with the other end; like this one:

It is silver maybe just silver plate. Mom had one in her collection many years ago. Great find...

Well that is thinking outside the box. I would have never thought of that. Thank you.

I think it is so unique! I will have to test it for Silver. It is very thin and light so I don't know if silver plate is an option but let me see what I can find. Should I remove the grim and tarnish if it is silver?
