Abstract

A container assembly comprising one large and two smaller containers, two opposed wall portions of the large container having cavities therein which receive in sliding relation the smaller containers, respectively. The exposed surfaces of the smaller containers blend with the adjacent surfaces of the wall portions thereby to provide an uninterrupted surface contour on the containers so assembled. The cavities provide indentations by means of which the larger container may be conveniently manually grasped.
