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 resembed -- in art and folklore they ''were'', where they provided magical services or simply illumination.
