Abstract
An ergonomic stackable watering can for watering plants and flowers for example comprises a tapered reservoir having a peripheral wall, a bottom and a top opening defining a top edge of the wall, a spout extending from the reservoir so as to be in fluid communication therewith, and a handle mounted to the reservoir over a tapered hollow stem which is mounted to the bottom of the reservoir so as to extend therefrom about a hole in the reservoir. The peripheral wall further includes an enlargement for receiving a portion of the spout of a similar watering can when the watering cans are assembled in a stack. The handle of a first watering can is inserted in the stem portion of a second watering can when two such watering cans are stacked.

A stackable watering can comprising:
- a reservoir defined by a bottom and a peripheral wall that extends from the bottom to a free edge of the peripheral wall;
- the free edge of the peripheral wall defining a top opening of the reservoir;
- the reservoir being tapered along a first direction generally perpendicular to the bottom;
- the bottom of the reservoir having an hole therein;
- the peripheral wall including an enlargement at the opening;
- a hollow stem extending from the bottom of the reservoir, about the hole therein, to near the top opening of the reservoir;
- the hollow stem being tapered along the first direction;
- a handle extending over the hollow stem;
- and
- a spout extending from the reservoir so as to define an acute angle therewith and so as to be registered with the enlargement of the reservoir;
- the stackable watering can being a first watering can;
- the enlargement being configured and sized so as to receive therein at least a portion of the spout of a second watering can, which is similar to the first watering can, when the reservoir of the second watering can is inserted in the reservoir of the first watering can so as to arrange the first and second watering cans in a stack;
- the hollow stem of the first watering can being received in the hollow stem of the second reservoir.
