cone shape

Point atop circle

A cone shape is the three-dimensional form of a cone—a solid with a circular base that tapers to a point at the apex.

The term appears when describing objects that approximate this geometry: traffic cones, ice cream cones, party hats.

Something described as cone-shaped narrows progressively from a wide end to a narrow one.
