A '''bucket''' is a vessel used to carry objects and liquids (typically water). They might be made of [[wood]], [[leather]] or [[metal]]. They might be banded with [[metal]] although [[wood]] was more common. The shape of the bucket might also be the reverse of the shape of modern buckets with the top being narrower than the base, particularly in the [[early medieval]] period.

Buckets designed to hold liquids (wet buckets) were made by [[cooper]]s but dry buckets could be made by anyone with rough skills as only the wet buckets require the skills of a cooper to ensure a watertight(ish) fit.
