Abstract
The holder comprises a pot having a screw for fixing a tree stump in the pot chamber by clamping it against the opposite wall of the pot. The wall of the pot forms three inwardly and slightly upwardly extending cylindrical cavities at its base. Three legs are provided, one for each cavity. Each leg has a cylindrical spigot at its inner end and a main shank. The longitudinal axis of the spigot is offset slightly, relative to the axis of the shank. When the spigots are inserted into the cavities so that the legs are assembled with the pot and the assembly is nesting on a support surface, then manual rotation of a single leg will induce tilting of the pot. Thus there is provided a holder having a single screw clamping system and a rotatable leg levelling system.
