pail
Handle-topped container
A pail is a bucket—a cylindrical container with a handle, used for carrying liquids or other materials: a pail of water, a milk pail.
The words are nearly interchangeable, though pail sounds slightly more old-fashioned or rural.
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
