This includes only the beautiful egg. See pictures below. HISTORY: The House of Faberge is a jewelry firm founded in 1842 in St. Petersburg, Imperial Russia, by Gustav Faberge, using the accented name "Faberge". Gustav was followed by his son Peter Carl Faberge, until the firm was nationalized by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The firm has been famous for designing elaborate jewel-encrusted Faberge eggs for the Russian Tsars and a range of other work of high quality and intricate details. In 1924, Peter Carl's son Alexander with his half-brother Eugene opened Faberge et Cie in Paris, making similar jewelry items, but adding the city to their rival firm's trademark as "FABERGÉ", PARIS". In 1937, the brand name "Faberge" was sold and then re-sold in 1964 to cosmetics company Rayette Inc., which changed its name to Rayette-Faberge Inc. As the name was resold more times, Faberge companies (such as Faberge Inc.) launched clothing lines, the cologne Brut (which became the best-selling cologne at the time), the perfume Babe, hair products, and undertook film production. The egg measures - 7 1/4" tall and 3 1/4" in diameter at the base. weight" 36.7 oz
