Some sample questions from this category:

* The Imperial Easter Eggs were created between 1885 and 1917 for which two Tsars of Russia?
* In 1885, Peter Carl Faberge created what is appropriately known as "The First Imperial Easter Egg". On the exterior this strongly resembled a real hen's egg of white enamel. Like all the eggs, it containes a "surprise". What is in the "First Egg"?
* The next egg is usually dated between 1885 and 1891. Traditionally it is supposed to have been a gift to the Tsarina Maria, but it is now thought more likely to be a gift to the Czarevitch, or Crown Prince. Its surprise is a blue agate rabbit with ruby eyes. What is its traditional name?
* At Easter, 1891, the Czar presented his wife with the "Azova” Egg. It is made of a semiprecious stone known as heliotrope overlaid with gold scrolls in the rococo style. What is another more common name for the mineral heliotrope?
* The "Azova Egg" is named for its surprise, a fantastically detailed model of a ship in gold and platinum, precise down to the tiny windows made of diamonds, sailing on a "sea" of aquamarine. All in an egg less than four inches long. What does this model commemorate?
