A handled vessel is a type of container that has a handle attached to it, allowing for easy carrying and pouring. The two most common examples of handled vessels are teapots and kettles. Teapots are typically made of ceramic or porcelain and have a spout for pouring tea. Kettles are usually made of metal and are used to heat water for making tea or other hot beverages. Both teapots and kettles have handles that allow for easy pouring and carrying.
