milk bottle

Doorstep delivery vessel

A milk bottle is a glass or plastic container designed to hold milk, traditionally used for home delivery.

The glass bottles were collected, washed, and reused.

Though largely replaced by cartons and jugs, milk bottles remain nostalgic symbols of an earlier era: The milkman left two bottles on the doorstep.
