An injection-molded plastic bucket with a base, a substantially circumferential wall expanding conically upward to an upper edge, and a pouring handle, where a lower edge of the wall is provided with a recess for the pouring handle, and a process for manufacturing an injection-molded plastic bucket. The bucket design is such the mold costs and curing time can be reduced and of which the universal utility of the molds can be improved, this task being solved in that the plastic bucket is molded in one piece, where the pouring handle is of substantially the same thickness as the bucket wall, and is integrally formed with the bucket body.
