Abstract
A skirt of a pourer has two wings each defining a bore whose geometrical axis, which is located outside the exterior of the skirt of the pourer, is parallel to a tangent line to the skirt. Each wing has a radial cut-out whose width is less than the diameter of the corresponding bore. The bores are open in the direction of the bottom of the pourer. The lid has two opposite lugs which snap into the bores of the wings.
