Description: | The bottle has a rounded bottom, so it cannot be stood up on its end. The bottle would have originally been sealed with a cork, and by making a bottle that had to lie on its side the cork would be kept moist by the liquid inside. If the bottle had been allowed to stand on its end, the cork would dry out and would have lost its effectiveness as a seal.
