[[People Jars]] [[X Meets Y|meet]] [[Our Fairies Are Different]].
Note that we're not talking about [[The Fair Folk]] (who might object strenuously to being put in a bottle), but the more Victorian concept of the palm-sized (or smaller) insect-winged fairy creature, often [[Ambiguous Gender|ambiguously female]] in appearance. Small enough to be put inside a bottle or jar, it's no surprise that -- like the insects they resembled -- in art and folklore they ''were'', where they provided magical services or simply served as a [[Fantastic Light Source]].
May be used for illumination, to grant wishes or have more arcane purpose. See also [[Fairy Companion]].
Not to be confused with the anime ''[[Bottle Fairy (anime)|Bottle Fairy]]'' (whose titular characters would qualify for this trope if only they had wings) or a [[Hard-Drinking Party Girl]], which is sometimes called a "bottle fairy".
