Bees have never made butter, after all, but we've heard they're hard-working and keep going long after the rest of us have clocked off. Anyway, pop a dollop of honey in there instead and everything suddenly makes perfect sense.
The dish is part of the Abeille range from French glassmaker La Rochère, which has been making glass in Passavant-la-Rochère since 1475. It consists of a small plate and a dome with three bees in relief that sits snugly over the plate. Use it for butter at the breakfast table, a dollop of jam, honey or herb butter for the barbecue, and the dome stops the butter absorbing smells in the fridge.
The plate is 9.5 cm in diameter and the dome 7.5 cm. Capacity 7 cl. Pressed glass, dishwasher safe. Made in France.
