Abstract

Containers including bottles of either cylindrical, rectangular or other geometric or sculptural form having at least one selected area of a sidewall thereof providing a depression or indentation to receive at least one article; solid, liquid, granular or other material therein. After placement of such article in this area, the article may be retained therein through adhesives or other adherents or the area may simply be overlayed with a covering film to retain the article. The covering film may simply cover this particular area and preferably would be clear over the area to allow viewing of the article or may include labelling materials which substantially surround the container with a clear area maintained over the indented or depressed area and similarly, the container may be silk screened or otherwise decorated with clear covering film being limited to the depressed or indented area.
