An example of a drinking vessel is provided. The drinking vessel include a base for resting on a surface. In addition, the drinking vessel includes a stability enhancer disposed within the base to increase stability of the base on the surface. Furthermore, the drinking vessel includes a stem extending from the base. The drinking vessel also includes a bowl resting on the stem. The bowl is to receive a liquid for consumption. Additionally, the drinking vessel includes a connector disposed between the bowl to the stem, wherein the connector is to releasably connect the bowl to the stem.

An insulating cup includes an outer body surrounding at least a portion of an inner body. The outer body folds inwardly and upwardly at the bottom end to form a distal fold that spaces the inner surface of the outer body at the bottom end away from the outer surface of the inner body. The outer body further includes an embossment across the majority of the length and width of the sidewall such that the inner surface of the outer body projects outwardly away from the inner body to space apart the inner surface of the outer body from the outer surface of the inner body in the location of the embossment. The distal fold and embossment separate the inner body and the outer body creating an insulating air space between substantially the entire inner surface of the outer body and the outer surface of the inner body.

A foodservice system includes one or more plates and one or more bowls in a stacking arrangement where the bowls can act as lids for the plates, and the plates can act as lids for the bowls. The one or more plates can hold food items on one surface while acting as a lid for a bowl positioned beneath the plate. These bowls and plates of the foodservice system can be arranged on a tray. The tray can be sized to hold various arrangements of plates, bowls, and other items.

The Invention is a standard set of round, cylindrical and spherical pieces that form objects to hold other objects and food, to transport things and to build modular elegant and beautiful constructions. For example, the Invention's pieces can be used as spherical flowerpots that are arranged along a walkway with flowers, and those same flowerpots can be stacked to support a flowerpot a few feet off the ground. Furthermore, the flowerpots can be stacked to form columns that vines grow on. Pieces can be made exponentially larger and smaller, and features on pieces can also be made exponentially larger and smaller, while maintaining compatibility within the system of Invention pieces. For example, the stacked boxes that are FIG. 33 can be elongated to stack in a manner that forms the pattern of a standard brick wall's interlocking pieces.

A drink cup includes a body formed to include an interior region providing a fluid-holding reservoir and a brim. The brim is coupled to the body to frame an opening into the interior region.

A wine glass includes a separate top portion and a bottom portion that can be joined together to form a single wine glass. The top portion has a drinking rim opposite a lower rim and the top portion has an enclosed bottom opposite and upper rim. The lower rim of the top portion and the upper rim of the bottom portion join together to form a leak-proof drinking vessel or cup of the wine glass. When separated, the top portion and bottom portion can be nested together. Additionally, a plurality of such wine glasses can be nested together, so that a large number of wine glasses can be packaged together for economical storage and shipping. The wine glass can be disposable and biodegradable or compostable, as examples.

A container having enhanced wall integrity is provided that includes a sidewall having a polygonal cross-sectional shape and an alignment structure formed therein. The alignment structure is adapted for orienting the container with respect to a second container such that the panel sections of the containers become parallel with one another and the containers may be fully nested one within the other. The alignment structure can be recessed into the sidewall to form peaks and valleys along an inner surface of the container. Alternatively, the alignment structure can protrude from the sidewall to form peaks and valleys along an inner surface of the container. The peaks include first and second faces sloping in opposite directions designed to direct corners of the first container's sidewall toward the valleys of the second container in order to orient the containers as they are stacked.
