ABSTRACT:
A container for storing liquid is contemplated which comprises a rigid vessel defining a chamber to retain liquid, the vessel has a generally vertical sidewall and an outer top surface. The outer top surface defines a mouth intersecting the chamber which is configured to move liquid to and from the chamber. The top surface defines a circumferential ledge having an outer edge connected to the sidewall. The top surface also defines an upturned lip connected to the ledge and circumscribing the mouth with the lip being horizontally inset from the outer edge by the ledge. A lid is removably connected to the vessel by press-on attachment with the lid having an upper surface opposing a lower surface. The lid includes a circumferential outer flange seated on the ledge and a stacking rib projecting upward from the upper surface with the rib being circumscribed by the flange as well as circumscribing a central portion of the lid. A sealing channel is defined by the lower surface and positioned within the rib with a lip interlockingly engaging the channel to seal the lid over the mouth. The outer top surface is grooveless and is configured without a cavity capable of accumulating or retaining liquid.
