Abstract (en)

Transportation of flowers in buckets or similar vessels using general courier cargo vans has a problem with respect to water spillage. A containment member is either secured or integrally formed with a bucket or vase or other vessel. If the vessel topples the flared shaping of the containment member retains liquid within the body of the vessel, so preventing spillage. The containment member has a central aperture through which the flower stems extend.
