A generally circular container of generally cup shape having a side wall and a bottom wall, the side wall in axial cross section of the container being at its upper portion straight and extending at an angle inwardly in the downward direction relatively to the axis of the container or perhaps more aptly defined as an inverted frusto-conical portion of uniform thickness and being at its lower portion curved downwardly and inwardly or defining a curvilinear surface of progressively decreasing diameter, the lower portion of the side wall being of uniform thickness equal to the thickness of the upper portion of the side wall, the lower portion of the side wall merging into the bottom wall of planar disciform configuration merged to the side wall by a smooth rounded curved juncture, the container having an annular, dependent foot extending downwardly from the bottom wall spaced inwardly from the lower extremity of the side wall. The upper portion of the side wall is preferably of somewhat greater vertical extent than the lower portion of the side wall and the vertical dimension of the depending foot is such that when two or more containers are nested the side walls are slightly spaced. The lower portion of the side wall desirably merges into the bottom wall at a curved corner which is tangent to the bottom of the container, such curved corner defining an arc of a circle of substantially less radius than that of the lower portion of the side wall.

A container of generally circular shape defining a generally cup-shaped article including an inverted frusto-conical upper side wall portion of uniform thickness throughout; a lower side wall portion also of the same uniform thickness as that of the upper side wall portion, said lower side wall portion defining a curvilinear surface of progressively decreasing diameter; a flat, disciform bottom wall merging with the lowermost part of said curvilinear side wall portion at smoothly curved juncture having a radius of curvature substantially less than that of said curvilinear bottom portion of said side wall, said bottom wall being of identical uniform thickness as that of said side wall portions; the bottom wall having a dependent cylindrical foot formed integrally therewith, the diameter of said dependent foot being less than the diameter of said disciform bottom wall and the vertical height of said dependent foot being such that when two or more containers are nested the side wall of the uppermost container is slightly spaced from the inner surface of the side wall of the lowermost container.
