water pitchers

Table beverage containers

Water pitchers are containers designed to hold and pour water, typically with a handle and spout.

They range from simple plastic vessels kept in refrigerators to decorative glass or ceramic pieces for table service.

Some water pitchers include built-in filters: We keep a water pitcher in the fridge.

The term also refers to pitcher plants—carnivorous plants with water-filled, pitcher-shaped leaves that trap insects.
