Abstract: A container wherein a top member and a base member are formed as identical units, e.g., from a common mold, and have interactive shapes that permit the top to be laid upon the bottom in a nesting, closed configuration, and rotated relative to the bottom to at least one open configuration with at least three pinpoints of engagement to allow for positive seating of the top member on the bottom in the open configuration and movement of ambient air therebetween. The top cover and base are divided into sections about their circumferential length. The number of sections is determined by the shape of each of the various sections. There can be any number of sections where each section is constructed so as to be able to mate with an exact inverted mirror image of itself. For each first section not so constructed, i.e.

Abstract: A container wherein a top member and a base member are formed as identical units, e.g., from a common mold, and have interactive shapes that permit the top to be laid upon the bottom in a nesting, closed configuration, and rotated relative to the bottom to one or more open configurations with at least three points of engagement whereby the size of the openings therebetween are varied in the different open positions and allow for movement of ambient air therebetween. The top cover and base, formed with identical common interfacing areas, can be subsequently modified, e.g., decorative or ornamental components can be added to the other, non-interfacing areas. Additionally, a handle could be added to the top cover. A pedestal could be added to the base. In a preferred embodiment, each member has a curvilinear outer periphery.
