Dish and dual-use base assembly

A dish and dual-use base, comprising,

• a dish including a support structure having an outer perimeter and a sidewall positioned around the outer perimeter, the support structure and the sidewall defining an inner surface that forms an open basin in the dish, the dish including an outer surface and a lower surface;
• and
• a base including a base portion having an outer perimeter which extends beyond the outer perimeter of the dish, the base including a base sidewall extending upward near a portion of the outer perimeter, the base portion and the base sidewall defining an inner surface that forms an open cavity in the base portion;
• wherein the base includes an inner surface and an outer surface, and the inner surface of the base is configured to hold at least a portion of the outer surface and the lower surface of the dish,
• wherein the base sidewall of the base portion is positioned to extend over at least a portion of the outer surface of the sidewall of the dish,
• wherein the lower surface of the base includes a convex portion that extends substantially over the lower surface thereof,
• wherein the base and dish are configured to fit together, the upper surface of the base and the inner surface and open cavity thereof formed to hold at least the lower surface of the dish and at least a portion of the sidewall of the dish,
• wherein when the dish is positioned in the cavity of the base, and the base is position on a selected surface, downward pressure causes the convex portion of the base to form a releasable suction connection between the base and the selected surface, and
• wherein when the base is disconnected from the dish, the base is also configured to be inverted and positioned over the open basin in the dish, wherein the base sidewall and the dish sidewall are positioned next to each other and cooperate to cover the open basin of the dish.
