Abstract
A nestable container has a bottom and four peripheral walls extending upwardly from said bottom. At least a portion of the four peripheral walls extends outwardly from the container bottom such that the angle between said container bottom and said portion of said opposing side and end walls is obtuse. The four peripheral walls may include interior projections positioned substantially at a right angle to said bottom. Said container may further include a pair of bails and external projections positioned along said exterior surface of at least one of said peripheral walls. Said external projections may be positioned slightly inward of said interior projections, so that at least a portion of said external projections aligns with said interior projections when said container is stacked on said bails of an identical container.
