The Faberge Ortinos
tatianolishka_1:
Apparently, Tatiana owned several little rock crystal bulldogs made by Faberge. Were these actually based on Ortino, or just because she liked the breed? Since she received Ortino in 1914 during her nursing years, was it even possible to get them to Tatiana?
Any information or pictures is greatly appreciated.

eggs yes... but dogs?

Was that little figure actually supposed to be Ortino? I always thought it was just a bulldog that Tatiana kept because it looked like him.

On the Alexander Palace Ortino Bio, it says this:
--- Quote ---Tatiana had a collection of Ortinos carved in semi-precious stones just like this one made of rock crystal set with blue sapphires and a gold collar. She kept them in her bedroom and now they have been dispersed around the world, including one in the Cleveland Museum.

That's all I could find about the Ortinos.
