Claim 19:
20. A soap holder for holding a bar of soap, the soap holder comprising:
a base having a general top surface, the general top surface of the base having a length, a width and an area, the base having an outer margin, a peripheral lip of the base disposed at the outer margin and extending upwardly from the general top surface of the base;
a hollow pedestal upwardly extending from the general top surface of the base and formed around a vertical axis, the length and width of the general top surface of the base being orthogonal to the vertical axis, an outer surface of the pedestal being curved around the axis, an inner surface of the pedestal being curved around the axis and defining a pedestal interior, the outer surface of the pedestal and the inner surface of the pedestal defining a pedestal wall therebetween, the pedestal having a closed bottom,
the pedestal wall having a top end displaced from the general top surface of the base, the outer surface of the pedestal wall and the inner surface of the pedestal wall meeting at the top end in an upwardly convexly curved transition that is also curved around the axis, a maximum length of the top end taken in a horizontal direction being smaller than the length or width of the general top surface of the base;
the outer surface of the pedestal making a junction with the general top surface of the base, the junction being a concave curved transition with a curve radius of at least 0.25 inch, the concave curved transition also being curved around the axis; and
at least one air hole disposed below the top end of the pedestal and through the pedestal wall to admit air into the pedestal interior.
