Abstract
A liquid container is shown having improved pouring and stacking qualities. The container has a body with a cylindrical exterior and opposed end walls. A bottom support extends tangentially from a first point on the cylindrical exterior surface and includes a planar portion which forms a base for supporting the body in an upright position. A transport handle extends from a second point on the cylindrical exterior surface for use in rotating the container between the upright position and the pouring position in which the cylindrical exterior surface rolls over the surrounding support surface during use.
