Cheese bell
A cheese dome is kitchen utensil in the shape of a lintel made of glass or other material. Under the cheese dome, cheese and other foods are protected from pests and odors.

In a figurative sense, the term is used in the phrase "living under the cheese dome" and describes someone who lives in his own world shut off from reality.
