Quick: what image comes to mind when I mention the name Karl Fabergé? Probably not a plate of breakfast.

It may not be the opulent Easter eggs that bear his name, but Fabergé's jeweled rendition of a Russian breakfast still fetched quite a princely sum, it just sold at auction for $1.1 million:

The stone-cut jeweled still life depicts a leftover breakfast plate with a fried egg (made from amber and white enamel), two fish (silver — one whole, one just a skeleton), a glass of vodka (rock crystal), cigarette butts (quartz and silver), and a newspaper (silver) from 18 October 1905 — the day the Tsar signed the October Manifesto in an attempt to quell unrest in Russia by granting the people various civil liberties and democratic reforms.
