Abstract: A vessel provides a decorative display of a floral arrangement or like items utilizing a reservoir of liquid for providing visual effects, with the items placed within the reservoir and extending upwardly out of the reservoir, and a light source within an inner chamber surrounded by the reservoir, the walls of the reservoir being light-transmitting and the inner chamber being flared radially outwardly and upwardly to dissipate heat from the light source and to deflect the items radially outwardly away from the heat emanating from the light source.
