People have used bottles since ancient times. Indeed, let us consider how different they were. First of all, people made bottles from various materials such as clay, glass, and even animal skins. For example, the ancient Egyptians produced good-quality glass bottles using a particular method called glassblowing to create beautiful designs. Secondly, in different cultures and religions, bottles indicated something special. Some cultures have used bottling to store sacred oils or perfumes, while others have used bottling as a ritual of representation of purity and protection. For example, the Chinese often see bottles as symbols of auspiciousness and prosperity. Thirdly, as time went on, people discovered new materials and how to improve the functionality of the items. In the Middle Ages, glass bottles with screw caps were made from clay, wood, and other various materials; then, humans invented glass bottles. They were pretty, and they allowed selection of the clearest and thickest parts. Fourthly, in the medieval and early-modern times, bottles acted as a significant commodity in trade and business. Merchants used pods to store and transmit various types of goods and spices. In some areas, certain bottles functioned as money because they were more expensive compared to others. Finally, with the advent of the industrial era, the manufacture of bottles became much simpler and faster. As a result, they became more affordable because many clear glass bottles were made at once. Additionally, the invention of new designs, including screw caps and bottle molds, contributed to the speed of production. To sum up, bottles have changed a lot over time. Indeed, they have been used to store goods, trade, and decorate and still are important nowadays in various spheres.
