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.

What is claimed is: 1. A nestable container comprising: a bottom; four peripheral walls extending upwardly from said bottom, said four peripheral walls including a pair of opposing side walls and a pair of opposing end walls, each of said opposing side and end walls including an exterior surface and an interior surface, at least a portion of each of said opposing side and end walls extending outwardly from said container bottom such that the angle between said container bottom and said portion of said opposing side and end walls is obtuse; interior projections positioned along said interior surface of at least one of said pair of opposing side walls or said pair of opposing end walls, each of said interior projections having an interior surface, said interior surface of each of said interior projections positioned substantially at a right angle to a plane of said bottom; a pair of bails; and external projections positioned along said exterior surface of at least one of said pair of opposing side walls or said pair of opposing end walls, each of said external projections having an external surface, said external surface of each of said external projections being positioned slightly inward of said interior surface of each of said interior projections, at least a portion of said external projections aligning with said interior projections when said container is stacked on said bails of an identical container. 2. A container according to claim 1, further comprising: a means for limiting the ability of said container to slide along bails of a lower stacked container when said container is stacked on top of said bails of said lower stacked container. 3. A container according to claim 1, wherein said interior projections are tapered to facilitate nesting. 4. A container according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said pair of opposing side walls or said pair of opposing end walls includes vent openings, and wherein at least a portion of said interior projections is positioned adjacent to said vent openings. 5. A container according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said pair of opposing side walls or said pair of opposing end walls includes vent openings, said vent openings including a topmost portion, a portion of said interior projections bridging said topmost portion of said vent openings. 6. A container according to claim 1, further comprising four vertical slots, two of said vertical slots positioned within each of said pair of opposing side walls or within each of said pair of opposing end walls; and wherein each of the pair of bails includes a straight bar abutted by two U-shaped end portions, each said straight bar being parallel to said pair of opposing side walls or to said pair of opposing end walls, each of said U-shaped end portions including a terminal point, each said terminal point positioned within a respective one of said vertical slots. 7. A container according to claim 6, wherein each of said pair of opposing end walls includes a top surface, each said top surface including two end points, each end point positioned at one of four corners of said container, each said top surface including an inclined portion immediately adjacent to said end points, a U-shaped notch inward of and adjacent said inclined portion, and a flat portion inward of said U-shaped notch, said flat portion positioned beneath said U-shaped notch, said flat portion being substantially parallel to said container bottom. 8. A container according to claim 1, further comprising a means for stacking said container on top of an identical container without damaging the contents of said identical container. 9. A nestable container according to claim 1, further comprising: a means for substantially limiting the shifting or slipping of container contents during transport. 10. A container according to claim 9, further comprising: four vertical slots, two of said vertical slots positioned within each of said pair of opposing side walls or within each of said pair of opposing end walls; wherein each of the pair of bails includes a straight bar abutted by two U-shaped end portions, each said straight bar being parallel to said pair of opposing side walls or to said pair of opposing end walls, each of said U-shaped ends portions including a terminal point, each said terminal point positioned within a respective one of said vertical slots. 11. A container according to claim 10, wherein each of said pair of opposing end walls includes a top surface, each said top surface including two end points, each end point positioned at one of four corners of said container, each said top surface including an inclined portion immediately adjacent to said end points, a U-shaped notch inward of and adjacent said inclined portion, and a flat portion inward of said U-shaped notch, said flat portion positioned beneath said U-shaped notch, said flat portion being substantially parallel to said container bottom. 12. A container according to claim 9, further comprising a means for stacking said container on top of an identical below-stacked container without damaging the contents of the lower-stacked container. 13. A container according to claim 9, further comprising: at least one vent opening disposed within at least one of said pair of opposing side walls or said pair of opposing end walls; wherein each of said external projections is positioned beneath a respective one of said vent openings, and each said external surface of each of said external projections is positioned so as not to impede the nesting of one container within another identical container. 14. A container according to claim 9, further comprising: a means for limiting the ability of said container to slide along hails of a lower stacked container when said container is stacked on top of said bails of said lower stacked container.
