The square glass bottle in two lines
This is the 100 millilitre square glass bottle, with a screw cap: the square section lets it stand in a row leaning against the next one, with no gaps in between.
Who it is for
For anyone keeping several preparations in a row and opening them often during service. It is the combination of a shape that uses the space and a closure that opens with one hand.
The shape, which is a question of centimetres
Four round bottles in a row leave four lens shaped gaps between them; four square ones do not. On a half metre shelf the difference is one or two more bottles, and on a station where space is what it is, that is reason enough. The square glass bottle is built to stand in a row, not to stand alone.

The screw cap is a choice about speed
It comes off with one hand while the other holds the glass, and that is what counts on something opened ten times a night. A gasket and wire clip protect more but ask for two hands and one extra movement, which with wet fingers is not immediate. For delicate infusions that stay shut for a long time the hermetic version protects better; for what moves, the thread is more practical.
What goes inside
House syrups, cordials, reductions, saline solutions, anything stable that gets used within a few days. Not tinctures and not long infusions, which have volatile aromatics to hold on to. It is the same distinction that governs the closure, and that is no accident: the square glass bottle is the service bottle, the hermetic one is for keeping.
Why glass
Because it is inert and because you can see through it. The first reason is about alcoholic preparations, which pull out what is in certain plastics; the second is about the check before service, which on a house made product is what stops you pouring something that has turned. A film on the surface or a shift in colour show without opening.
The label and the row
Identical bottles in a line need a label with a name and a date, on the front face: that is the less obvious gain from the square shape, because a flat surface holds tape far better than a curved one, where it lifts at the corners. Anyone keeping six in a row labels the cap as well, so it reads from above when the shelf is high.
Care
Hand wash in hot water and dry completely before filling. Rinse the thread on the neck properly: that is where dripping syrup settles, and that is how you get a cap that glues itself shut and then will not turn. It is the most common fault on a syrup bottle, and ten seconds prevents it.
FAQ
How much does the square glass bottle hold? One hundred millilitres.
Why the square shape? Because in a row it leaves no empty gaps between one bottle and the next.
What closure does it have? A screw cap, which comes off with one hand.
Is it right for infusions? Less so: volatile aromatics need a hermetic closure.
Why glass? Because it is inert and it lets you see whether the product has turned.
Why does the cap sometimes stick? Dried syrup in the thread: rinse the neck at every wash.
