A canister container holds stacked flexible dishes, nominally plates, in their normal upright orientation in position above a large, roughly circular, central bottom aperture to such canister. The plates are supported in this position within the canister by an inwardly-directed peripheral flange extending approximately 230 degrees around the circumference of the bottom aperture which engages the edge margin of a bottom one of the stacked flexible plates. The stacked flexible plates are also supported in this position by at least one, and preferably two, inwardly-directed peripheral tabs which are situated about the bottom aperture of the canister at positions opposite to the flange. The canister also preferably has a second aperture in its cylindrical sidewall between and above the location of the two tabs to the bottom aperture. Selected bottom ones of the stacked flexible plates may be slightly temporarily warped or deformed by manual force applied through the second aperture to pass beyond supporting engagement with the tabs.
