  • Patent number: 6769302
    Abstract: A vessel includes a wall structure formed of light-transmitting material and having inner and outer surfaces and defining a cavity with an open upper end for receiving contents having a measurable volume, and a indicia disposed on the outer surface and including reversed characters as to be readable by a user viewing the inner surface and providing a readily observable indication of the volume of the contents of the vessel. The wall structure may have a spout with the indicia disposed either beneath the spout. The wall structure may have a handle, with the indicia being disposed either beneath the handle or opposite the handle. The indicia may include plural spaced sets of indicia, some or all of which sets may include reversed characters. The indicia may be offset from their corresponding liquid surface levels to compensate for refraction.
