Abstract: The invention concerns a set of containers each comprising a receptacle (1?) which includes a base provided with anchor means and a cover (1) which includes a top provided with anchor means (4, 5, 16, 17, 18), whereby the dimensions of the base and of the top of the same container are identical to each other, but different from one container to another. The invention is characterised by the fact that each cover and receptacle are complemented with stabilisation means (9, 10) provided with anchor means and by the fact that a constant distance separates the anchor means and the stabilisation means for each cover and receptacle of the containers of the set, in such a manner that in a piling, the containers are off-centred in the direction of the stabilisation means.
