Searching the internet for info on Fabergé, I encountered Fabergé Eggs on stamps!

Besides Imperial Eggs, Fabergé made other Easter Eggs too. On the above Liechtenstein 2001 stamps three Eggs are shown from the collection of mr. Adulf Peter Goop, owner of the Kelch Apple Blossom Egg. Visit the website to see some magnificent First Day Covers!

Finland

In 1988 Finland hosted an international stamp exhibition from June 1 to 12 in Helsinki. Its special stamp issued honors Agathon Faberge.

Agathon Faberge was the grandson of the founder of the House of Fabergé. His appreciation for objects d'art extended to rugs, china, jade, vases, engravings, goblets and stamps. The later interest is captured on the above sheetlet from Finland which shows a likeness of Agathon Faberge and stamps from his famous collection. (Source image Ebay)
