ABSTRACT:
A three piece egg container assembly is provided which includes a rectangular base member having a bottom wall, sidewalls and an open top, an egg tray with a plurality of egg receiving receptacles receivable within the base member and a removable lid for the base member. The lid is configured with a peripheral lip such that one side of the lid conforms to the base member bottom wall, the open top of the base member and the egg tray such that the first surface of the lid could receive any of those elements. A second side of the lid conforms to the opening of the base member such that the lid can be received in the opening either in an upright position or an inverted position. Stacking of numerous base members with intervening inverted lids or stacking of the egg tray on the lid is thereby accommodated by this construction.
