Napoleon had bees embroidered on his coronation mantle, and they have been buzzing around French design ever since. Here, four of them sit in relief around a small clear glass bowl, and they look far better at the breakfast table than on a coronation mantle.
The bowl is part of the Abeille range from French glassmaker La Rochère, which has been making glass in Passavant-la-Rochère since 1475. The shape is inspired by medieval pewter goblets, and the glass is thick pressed glass that is both dishwasher and microwave safe. Just right for yoghurt and granola, a portion of ice cream, fruit salad or a few nuts and olives with your aperitif.
Diameter 10.5 cm, height 6.7 cm. Made in France.
