A device for stabilizing and supporting a receptacle or spherical object, the device comprising first and second support elements. The first support element comprises a frusto-conical support portion defining an annular rim at an outer periphery thereof, an inner surface and an outer surface on opposite sides thereof. The first support element also comprises a base portion which connects the first support element to the second support element. The second support element comprises an outwardly flared support portion defining an annular rim at an outer periphery thereof, as well as inner and outer surfaces. The second support element also comprises a base portion which connects to the corresponding base portion of the first support element. At least a portion of the inner surfaces of the first and second support elements forms a receptacle or spherical object contact surface. The base portions of the first and second support elements together form a central aperture through the device allowing communication between an interior of the first support element and an interior of the second support element.
