The invention is directed to a decorative device for displaying an ornamental object within a fluid. The device takes the form of a transparent hollow bell-shaped enclosure, the interior of the enclosure containing a fluid and a plurality of small particles. A handle is attached to the crown of the enclosure. A fluid tight base is sealingly connected to the mouth of the enclosure. A fluid inlet is positioned within the base for introducing the fluid into the enclosure. A plug seals the fluid inlets to prevent fluid from leaving the enclosure. A bottom cover is placed over the base to provide a flat surface to permit the device to stand in an upright position on a horizontal surface.

A decorative device for displaying an ornamental object comprising: a transparent hollow bell-shaped enclosure, the interior of said enclosure containing an ornamental object, a fluid and a plurality of small particles individually suspendable in the fluid when the device is physically agitated; an ornamental handle attached to the crown of said enclosure, the handle being sealed against fluid communication with the interior of the enclosure; an ornamental bezel surrounding the lip of said enclosure; a fluid-tight base sealingly engaging the mouth of said enclosure, said base having a circumferential side wall and a generally planar surface facing the interior of the enclosure; a fluid inlet means in said base for introducing said fluid into said enclosure; said ornamental object having a surface generally parallel and opposed to the surface of the base facing the interior of the enclosure, and having a space between at least a portion of said ornamental object surface and said planar surface, said space being in communication with said fluid inlet means and defining a plenum between said surface and the fluid inlet means for trapping therein any bubbles of gas present in said fluid and causing said bubbles to be expelled from the enclosure through said fluid inlet means; and a plug means for sealing said fluid inlet means.
