ABSTRACT:
A vessel has a body defining a storage unit and a spout communicating with the storage unit, a spout closure coupled to the body at a first coupling location for movement between open and closed positions, a handle having a front end movably coupled to the spout closure at a second coupling location and a rear end spaced from the body, and support structure fixed to the body and movably supporting the rear end of the handle at a third coupling location, the coupling locations being arranged so that the spout closure is unresponsive to a vertical lifting force exerted on the handle, but opens in response to a tipping force exerted on the handle by a user's hand.
