Believe it to be Limoges porcelain Napoleon Bee pattern. There are no chips, cracks or repairs. It is about the size of a can of tuna. The three little holes do not go all the way to the bottom but the center pot does. If anyone has a clue as to WHAT it may be, even when it was made that would be great.
Thank you in advance
Inkwell and pen holders.
I do think is a caviar tray, ice and three small spoons in the holes

it's a bee for decoration that's why i think it's an honey pot. Am I wrong?
Articles from the Napoleon III era carried bees, as they were part of the symbols of the French monarchy of the time .... and this is not an inkwell.
Kivatiniz. Thank you for this info about the bee symbol. Make sense.
you are welcome
