This top is somewhat complex -- and a lot of fun. It basically consists of 3 parts: a base, a "saucer" (well, actually a bowl) holding a little gnome, and a cover. Amazingly, when everything is set in place and you follow the instructions,, at the very end the saucer and its cute little inhabitant will suddenly take flight! You'll love entertaining your friends -- and yourself! -- with it. HAND MADE IN JAPAN
