A pressed glass tumbler with a raised Napoleonic bee, the glass on the open shelf that gets reached for first.

La Rochère presses it in France. It holds 26 cl, about 8.8 ounces, with real heft and the faint ripple where the mold met the glass. Orange juice at seven, water at noon, two fingers of something brown when the day lets go.

For the friend setting up a first kitchen of their own. For a host gift, two at a time. Also made in Émeraude, Olive, Bleu nuit and Aubergine, for a shelf collected one glass at a time.
