Abstract
A thin-walled metal container is formed with a bottom wall which is substantially flat and connected to a container side wall through a curved wall portion located at the periphery of the flat bottom wall. A stacking support member is attached to the lower surface of the bottom wall to define a rest surface for supporting the container on a horizontal surface, The stacking support member is made of foam material to prevent `sweating` of the container on a table surface while also minimizing scratching, Other non-metallic materials may function as the stacking support member.
