Toothbrush handle

A kettle has a hollow body defining a reservoir chamber and having a convex upper portion with a rim defining a circular filling opening into the chamber. A spout projects from the upper portion and communicates with the chamber. A handle is fixed to the body and spans the filling opening, terminating in the forward end adjacent to the spout. A concave arcuate guard extends upwardly from the body around the entire perimeter of the opening, the guard being fixed to the forward end of the handle for protecting the user's hand from steam. A concave lid removably closes the opening and has an arcuate handle which follows the contour of the body dome shape when in its closed position. A hinged spout cover has an actuator extending through a slot in the guard for manual actuation by the user's finger.
