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.
