"The king's cartouche is written on this teapot-shaped nemset vessel. Like the vase, it is made of Egyptian faience: ground quartz with an alkaline glaze."
Another of Tutankhamun's possessions shows just how this vessel was used, as he is shown giving libations to Osiris (aka Wesir)
Apparently, these vessels were quite important to the King, as he was packed with a lot of them. "Box 54, in which the nemset (teapot-shaped) vase was found, was in the Antechamber, and bore a docket listing the contents as '17 blue faience nemset-ewers.' Sixteen of these were still present, along with all seventeen lids and many other miscellaneous pieces."
