dishpan
Kitchen soaking vessel
A dishpan is a large, shallow basin used for washing dishes by hand, typically made of plastic or metal.
Before the widespread adoption of kitchen sinks with built-in basins, dishpans were essential household items placed on counters or tables and filled with soapy water.
The term survives in dishpan hands, describing dry, rough skin from prolonged exposure to dish soap and water.
