Container

Container liner

A vessel includes a container, a bracket, a bail and a grip. The container has a cavity configured to hold a liquid. The bracket extends from the container and comprises an arm spaced from the container. The arm has opposed first and second ends, and the arm is connected to the container only at its first end. The bail is pivotally connected to the container and has a grip thereon. The vessel is configured so that the grip has a position that is in contact with the arm, thereby defining, in combination, a composite vessel handle. A method of supporting a vessel includes pivoting the bail so that the grip is in contact with the arm and positioning at least a portion of a hand on the grip.
