Dear Hans,
It looks like a cultivar of Solanum aethiopicum, considered a 
red/orange-skinned eggplant. See a list in Stephen Faccioloa's Cornucopia II, 
A Source Book of Edible Plants, p. 361.  Someone just brought me an almost 
identical sample for id; it was featured in a fall florist arrangement.
