A spout is a tube or pipe that allows liquid to flow out from a container, such as a kettle or a teapot. It is designed to control the pouring of liquids, making it easier to serve beverages or other fluids without spilling. Spouts can vary in shape and size, depending on their intended use. In addition to kitchenware, spouts are also found in other contexts, such as fountains and water bottles. They can be made from various materials, including plastic, metal, and ceramic, and are often designed for specific functions, like preventing drips or allowing for a steady stream of liquid.
