For her fifty-first birthday, celebrated in Moscow in 1938, Marjorie Merriweather Post received this clock from husband Joseph Davies. About this gift she wrote, "I recorded [in my scrapbook] my joy in receiving for my birthday a pink enameled clock by Fabergé and then going on that same evening to the Bolshoi Ballet, with the gift very much in mind."
Bequest of Marjorie Merriweather Post, 1973
