Abstract: An aerial fireworks display device includes a plastic bottle for holding a quantity of combustible liquid, such as diesel fuel, and a one piece plastic lid structure which is threadable onto the bottle and has an open-topped depending well portion in which a quantity of flash powder may be placed. After the flash powder has been placed in the lid well portion a fuse-containing plug structure is snap-fitted into the top end of the lid well. The diesel fuel is poured into the bottle and the lid is screwed onto the bottle so that the flash powder-containing well extends into the bottle interior, and a portion of the fuse extends outwardly through the upper end of the plug structure. The assembled device may then be inverted and placed in a mortar tube for launching.
