Perhaps someone can explain the purpose of a cup with a hemispheric bottom.
Rather difficult to set down on a flat surface...

I believe that shape was useful for parties or drinking contests or such events. You can’t put your cup down. You have to drink the contents to get if off your hands, so to speak.

A rounded bottom container like that is set into a nest shaped basket.

It looks as if on the very bottom it is cut off flat. Am I wrong??
