To provide a vessel in which a pipe extended from the vessel does not impair the carrying work efficiency, and a turnable pipe can be stably held while improving the sealing of the vessel.
A sleeve member 83 is turnable with respect to a connection cylindrical body 82 with the axial direction of the sleeve member 83 as the central axis C thereof. The sleeve member 83 is supported by a thrust bearing 88 fixed to an upper end part of the connection cylindrical body 82 or the like at a flange 83a. For example, when molten metal is fed from the vessel to a holding furnace 12, a substantial pipe 56 in a plane view is extended for use. When the vessel is carried by a forklift or the like, the length of the substantial pipe 56 in the plane view is reduced to prevent the pipe 56 from impairing the carrying work efficiency.
