ABSTRACT:
An externally threaded vessel having an outwardly projecting directed pour spout to permit substantially mess-free dispensing of liquid from the vessel. The tip of the outwardly projecting directed pour spout exhibits a cross-sectional profile which resides completely within the outline which would be formed if the external thread on the vessel were to be extended upwardly a sufficient distance to include the tip of the pour spout. Sizing and positioning the tip of the pour spout in the foregoing manner permits dispensing of liquid from the vessel without contaminating the external thread or the exterior surfaces of the vessel, yet permits engagement of the vessel with a secondary vessel having a complementary thread engaging means without any interference with the tip of the outwardly projecting directed pour spout. In essence, the cross-sectional profile of the tip of the outwardly projecting directed pour spout acts as an extension of the external thread on the vessel incorporating the pour spout.
