Stand for holding container at an angle

A stand for holding a container at an angle, the container including a planar circular bottom that is integral to cylindrical side walls that are oriented perpendicular to the circular bottom and an open top, the stand comprising:

• a first support having a continuous concave surface for accepting the side wall of the cylindrical container;
• a second support having a planar surface positioned at an angle X in relation to the first support and abutting the first support at a vertex wherein the angle X is measured between the first, support and the second support at the vertex and wherein X ranges from 60 degrees to 120 degrees;
• and
• a base, the base uniting the first support and the second support such that an angle y1 between a plane formed by the base and the first support is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, an angle y2 between a plane formed by the base and the second support is greater than 0 degrees and is less than 90 degrees, wherein y1 and y2 are each about 45 degrees such that X+y1+y2 is equal to 180 degrees wherein the second support includes an indentation having a shape that is complementary to a bottom protrusion of container, wherein an underside portion of the base is hollow and configured such that a plurality of stands can be stacked or nested within each other.
