The lid member may include a body member, a handle portion connected to the body member, an internal threaded portion, an internal receiving portion, and a lid gasket member arranged in the internal receiving portion. The pouring member may include a spout collar, a spout, and a spout opening extending through the spout, wherein the spout extends from the spout collar and includes an upper end above an upper surface of the spout collar. The lid assembly has a closed orientation that prevents liquid from flowing through the opening of the pouring member and an open orientation that allows liquid to flow through the opening of the pouring member. When the lid assembly is in the closed orientation, the lid gasket member contacts both the upper end of the spout and the upper surface of the spout collar.
