A burette can be a hollow glass (or plastic) tube open at the top, with a small tap at the bottom. There may also be a scale etched down the tube. The burette allows a certain amount of liquid past the tap. So, obviously, unless clamped vertically, the liquid would simply pour out of the glass tube.
