A liquid will always take the shapeof its container. Angle is a measuring jug that makes use of this property forthe measurement of liquids.
 
The classic measuring-jug system makesuse of horizontal markings for the calculation of quantities. To pour our aspecific partial quantity of liquid, the user must pour a little and then checkthe amount poured against the horizontal markings.
Angle combines this system with a newsystem of diagonal lines that indicate quantities during pouring. The diagonallines correspond with the surface of the liquid during pouring.
 
The measurement units relate topractical kitchen measuring systems such as a cup, a glass, or a tablespoon. Atypical water glass, for example, holds 200mL. Angle indicates a 200mL volumeas the amount between two long diagonal markings. The volume contained by along marking and a short one is 100mL. Angle was designed to make food preparationsimpler.
