Is there anything that functions like a bucket but can hold more?

I was just wondering if anyone knows of an item that acts like a bucket (picks up placed liquids by hand) but can hold more.

Portable tanks work a bit like that, though you'll still need to put the stuff into them from a bucket.  It goes like this;

 

1: Place down portable tank (cheapest one carries 8 buckets worth of liquid)

2: Use a bucket to shift liquid from a source into the tank.

3: Pick up the tank using the crescent hammer (shift right-click).
