paint pot

Artist's color holder

A paint pot is a container holding paint, typically a small pot or jar used for art projects, craft work, or touch-up jobs.

The term often appears in children's art contexts: The kids dipped their brushes into the paint pots.

In geological usage, a paint pot is a type of hot spring that bubbles with colored mud, named for its resemblance to pots of thick, pigmented liquid.
