Abstract
A rigid container that may be used to store items. The container includes a first bowl and a second bowl. The first and second bowls both include center portions and at least one sidewall. The sidewalls are disposed about the peripheries of their respective center portions and oriented perpendicular to it. The sidewall(s) of the first bowl define an exterior profile and the sidewall(s) of the second bowl define an interior profile. The exterior profile and the interior profile are identical in shape but the interior profile is slightly larger so that the second bowl can be received over the first bowl.

A container comprising:
- a first bowl comprising a center portion and a cylindrical sidewall disposed along the periphery of the center portion, wherein the sidewall is oriented perpendicular to the center portion, and wherein the sidewall comprises an exterior surface that defines an exterior profile;
- a second bowl comprising a center portion and a cylindrical sidewall disposed along the periphery of the center portion, wherein the sidewall is oriented perpendicular to the center portion, and wherein the sidewall comprises an interior surface that defines an interior profile;
- wherein the exterior profile of the first bowl is identical in shape to the interior profile of the second bowl;
- and
- wherein the interior profile of the second bowl is larger than the exterior profile of the first bowl such that the second bowl is receivable over the first bowl.
A container comprising:
- a first bowl comprising a center portion and a plurality of sidewalls, the sidewalls being disposed about the periphery of the center portion and oriented perpendicular to it, wherein each sidewall comprises an exterior surface and the exterior surfaces of the sidewalls collectively define an exterior profile;
- a second bowl comprising a center portion and a plurality of sidewalls, the sidewalls being disposed about the periphery of the center portion and oriented perpendicular to it, wherein each sidewall comprises an interior surface and the interior surfaces of the sidewalls collectively define an interior profile;
- wherein the shape of the interior profile of the second bowl is identical to the shape of the exterior profile of the first bowl;
- and
- wherein the interior profile of the second bowl is larger than the exterior profile of the first bowl such that the second bowl is receivable over the first bowl.
A container comprising:
- a first bowl comprising a center portion and a cylindrical sidewall disposed along the periphery of the center portion, wherein the sidewall is oriented perpendicular to the center portion, and wherein the sidewall comprises an exterior surface that defines an exterior profile that is circular in shape;
- a second bowl comprising a center portion and a cylindrical sidewall disposed along the periphery of the center portion, wherein the sidewall is oriented perpendicular to the center portion, and wherein the sidewall comprises an interior surface that defines an interior profile that is circular in shape;
- wherein the first bowl and the second bowl both comprise a glass material composition;
- and
- wherein the interior profile of the second bowl is larger than the exterior profile of the first bowl such that the second bowl is receivable over the first bowl in either a clearance fit or a transition fit.
