Case bottles, also known as "case gin" or "taper gin" bottles were square or rectangular glass bottles that were popular in Europe and the New World from the 17th to 19th century. Case bottles were designed with flat sides and tapered bodies so that they could be packed into cases and crates for transport more efficiently than cylindrical bottles.
