A base, for use with and for illuminating the interior of a container for liquids, and which has a bottom wall portion at least partly transparent to light, comprising a main body comprised of an upwardly-disposed side wall whose height is substantially less than that of the container, a bottom wall adapted to carry, or having holder structure for holding, at least one battery in a substantially horizontal position, a mount for a light bulb, electrical conductors and support structure for supporting a container thereon, to illuminate the interior of a container supported on the base through the container bottom wall portion. The base can include securement structure for securing the base to the container to reside under its bottom end portion so that when the container is lifted, the base is lifted with the container.
