water pitcher

Table refill container

A water pitcher is a container with a handle and spout designed for holding and pouring water.

Pitchers typically sit on tables for serving drinks: She filled the water pitcher before dinner.

The term distinguishes from pitchers used for other liquids like juice or sangria, though the vessel itself may be identical.
