ABSTRACT:
A graduated sight glass container for retaining a substance therein and minimizing the possibility of spillage during dispensing of the substance therefrom. The graduated sight glass container includes a housing having a shape of a quadrilateral and including an indented section on a first side thereof. A spout is connected to extend from the indented section of the housing and at most up to the first side. A pool is formed within the indented section and surrounding the spout, wherein, when the container is tilted from a vertical at-rest position causing the spout to be positioned adjacent an opening through which the substance contained within the container is to flow, the pool is caused to at least partially receive an edge of the opening. Extending along a second side of the housing is a first graduated scale and a second graduated scale extends along a base of the housing for measuring an amount of the substance within said container and an amount of the substance dispensed from the container during dispensing. The first and second graduated scales are both made of a clear material allowing a user to view the substance within the container therethrough and include indicia printed therealong indicative of a volume of said container at predetermined positions.
