Abstract
A decorative apparatus comprises a primary container defined by an upper portion and a lower portion. The primary container has an opening defined in the upper portion. A secondary container comprises a cap and a reservoir body extending therefrom. The secondary container is suspendedly disposed within the primary container such that the cap of the secondary container substantially corresponds to the opening of the primary container and the reservoir body of the secondary container extends toward the lower portion of the primary container. A reservoir access aperture is disposed in the cap. A method of manufacture is also provided.

A decorative apparatus, comprising:
- a primary container defined by an upper portion and a lower portion, said primary container having an opening defined by a perimeter disposed toward said upper portion;
- a secondary container having a cap and a reservoir body extending therefrom, said secondary container being scalingly engaged to and suspendedly disposed within said primary container, and said reservoir body of said secondary container extending toward said lower portion of said primary container, said secondary container defining a reservoir access aperture disposed in said cap;
- contents disposed within said primary container;
- and
- adhesive disposed between said primary container and said secondary container sealingly engaging said secondary container to said primary container and sealing said contents between said primary container and said secondary container;
- wherein said adhesive being adapted to seal said contents between said primary container and said secondary container in order to inhibit introduction of air to said contents, uninhibited introduction of which may result in decay or evaporation of said contents.
