A vessel for carrying liquids or other loose materials is provided comprising a generally pentagonal, hollow body. The body of the vessel has an open top, convenient pouring spouts, and supportive handle which is an integral part of the lower half of one side of the body. The inner cavity of the body of the vessel is formed into a ledge at the top of the handle which, in conjuction with the notched spout directly opposite, provides an excellent paint brush holder. Three ridges in the bottom aid in cleaning one\s paintbrush like a wash-board and serve as a place to grip with one\s fingers when holding the bucket. It is designed to be light-weight, comfortable, and versatile. It is specially designed as a paint bucket by virtue of its built-in brush holder, the ease with which it can be cleaned, and its pouring spouts. It also could serve well as a fruit-picking bucket, an efficient bucket for bailing water out of a boat, a bucket for household cleaning, a trick-or-treat collector, a hair rinsing bucket, or for transfering larger volumes of liquid or other loose materials to smaller containers.
