A one-piece, molded plastic container () comprises a base () and a circumferential sidewall () extending upwardly from the base. The upper end () of the sidewall forms an open top of the container which is closed by a lid (). A bail () for lifting and carrying the container is integrally molded with the container body in a mold (). The ends of the bail attach to bosses () integrally molded therewith into the container sidewall. The spacing of the bosses is less than 180&#xb0; in one direction about the circumference of the container, so the container, when lifted by the bail, does not hang vertically. A base section () of the bail has a substantially uniform thickness throughout the length of the bail.
