Odo's bucket (also referred to as a pail) was an object that Odo used to store himself when he had to revert to his natural, gelatinous state to regenerate. He generally stored it in the back corner of his security office but would take it with him on trips off the station expected to take longer than sixteen hours (the length of time he could remain in solid form).

Quark once suggested that Odo could use a latinum-plated bucket to sleep in. (DS9: "Q-Less")

Nog once played a practical joke on Jake by filling Odo's bucket with oatmeal from the replicator and dumping it on Jake, leading him to believe that it was Odo he spilled. (DS9: "The Storyteller")

In 2369, Odo was unable to get into his bucket while trapped in a turbolift with Lwaxana Troi and used her skirt instead of his bucket. (DS9: "The Forsaken")

Odo took the bucket with him on a trip aboard the USS Defiant to the Gamma Quadrant to meet the mysterious Dominion. He had to share quarters with Quark and made the Ferengi look away when he melted into the bucket. (DS9: "The Search, Part I")

After his encounter with the Founders, Odo stopped using the bucket; he would instead revert to his gelatinous state and shapeshift freely throughout his quarters, allowing himself to spread across the floor when he needed to become gelatinous. Odo kept the bucket with him "as a reminder of how [he] used to be." He put a houseplant that Major Kira Nerys brought him as a housewarming gift and decoration into the bucket. (DS9: "The Abandoned")

During an angry rampage, Odo hurled the plant against the wall (which destroyed it), along with the bucket it was still sitting in. (DS9: "Crossfire")

When he believed he was about to die on a cold mountainous planet in 2373, recorded a log in which he stated his wish to be cremated (having been transformed into a Human at the time), and his ashes placed in his bucket, which he then asked to be shot through the wormhole. (DS9: "The Ascent")

Odo gave Kira his bucket as a keepsake just before he was forced to leave Deep Space 9 to rejoin the Great Link after the end of the Dominion War. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")

"The Storyteller" marked the first appearance of Odo's bucket. David Livingston commented: "We decided it wouldn't be real fancy, because it's a bed, and Odo's not a guy with a lot of pretensions. He just needs a place to be able to rest" (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
The episode "A Man Alone" Odo gives eighteen hours as time he could be in a solid form.
