Claim 0:
1. 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 and a width;
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 and to each other, 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 wall having a top end upwardly 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 smaller of the length and 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 an upwardly concave curved transition with a minimum upward 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 communicating to the pedestal interior so as to admit air into the pedestal interior.
