A liquid container contains a liquid to be supplied to a liquid-consuming device consuming the liquid and is inserted and loaded into the liquid-consuming device in an insertion direction crossing a direction of gravity, comprising: a container main body that includes a containment chamber containing the liquid and has a plurality of wall parts (21 to 26) including a front-end wall part that is positioned on the insertion direction with respect to the containment chamber, a rear-end wall part that is opposite to the front-end wall part with the containment chamber therebetween in the insertion direction and faces the containment chamber, and an upper-surface wall part that crosses the front-end wall part and the rear-end wall part and is positioned above the containment chamber in a loaded state where the liquid container is loaded in the liquid-consuming device; a liquid outlet that is connected to the liquid-consuming device in the loaded state to flow out the liquid from the containment chamber to the liquid-consuming device; a liquid inlet that is provided on the upper-surface wall part at a position closer to the rear-end wall part than the front-end wall part and communicates with the containment chamber to accept injection of the liquid from outside of the container main body into the containment chamber; and a visual recognition portion that is provided on the rear-end wall part and is see-through so that a position of a liquid surface of the liquid contained in the containment chamber is visually recognizable from the outside of the container main body, wherein the rear-end wall part has at least part of scale marks as indexes of an amount of the liquid contained in the containment chamber on an outer wall surface outside the containment chamber in the visual recognition portion and an inner wall surface inside the containment chamber in the visual recognition portion. a container main body that includes a containment chamber containing the liquid and has a plurality of wall parts (21 to 26) including a front-end wall part that is positioned on the insertion direction with respect to the containment chamber, a rear-end wall part that is opposite to the front-end wall part with the containment chamber therebetween in the insertion direction and faces the containment chamber, and an upper-surface wall part that crosses the front-end wall part and the rear-end wall part and is positioned above the containment chamber in a loaded state where the liquid container is loaded in the liquid-consuming device; a liquid outlet that is connected to the liquid-consuming device in the loaded state to flow out the liquid from the containment chamber to the liquid-consuming device; a liquid inlet that is provided on the upper-surface wall part at a position closer to the rear-end wall part than the front-end wall part and communicates with the containment chamber to accept injection of the liquid from outside of the container main body into the containment chamber; and a visual recognition portion that is provided on the rear-end wall part and is see-through so that a position of a liquid surface of the liquid contained in the containment chamber is visually recognizable from the outside of the container main body, wherein the rear-end wall part has at least part of scale marks as indexes of an amount of the liquid contained in the containment chamber on an outer wall surface outside the containment chamber in the visual recognition portion and an inner wall surface inside the containment chamber in the visual recognition portion.
