A decorative table combination includes a transparent top supported above a base, and a marine or aquatic creature figure representing a duck, beaver, whale, etc. To create the illusion that the creature is swimming or floating, with the transparent top representing the surface of the creature's habitat, the figure is cut at its natural water line. An upper portion of the figure is supported on the table top, and a lower portion, representing the submerged legs and feet, e.g., of the swimming or floating creature, is supported on the under surface of the table top, directly beneath the upper portion. The two portions can be joined magnetically across the table top. Supports for the table can be fashioned to resemble submerged driftwood, tree branches, or lily pad stems, with suitable continuation members on the table top to give the illusion that the support members break the water's surface.
