Decanter
A decanter is a vessel used for holding the results of decantation, in which liquid from another vessel is poured into the decanter in order to separate a small volume of liquid containing sediment, such as wine, from a larger volume of "clear" liquid, which hopefully contains no sediment. In the process, the sediment is left in the original vessel, and the clear liquid is transferred to the decanter.
