DescriptionFrom the 1600s to the end of the 1700s, the shape of English wine bottles evolved from globular shapes to straight-sided cylindrical forms that allowed bottles to be stored on their sides. This example represents a relatively early point in that evolution. These bottles were intended to be used, cleaned, and refilled many times.
