Abstract

A stackable container, including a body and a cap threadingly engageable with a neck portion of the body and having a top portion formed with a depression for selectively oriented snap-registered engagement with a base portion of a counterpart of the body, the cap further including handle projections and a skirt. Opposite stop structures prevent rotation of the cap relative to the body beyond predetermined threaded engagement; a detent releasably captures the body in the predetermined threaded engagement. A base portion of the body having inclined side walls facilitates rotation of the body with respect to the cap. The skirt extends downwardly more than an axial length of the neck portion for guiding the body into alignment with the cap. A consumable product such as a cosmetic can extend into the cap from the body.
