In the early years of the 20th century, a glass milk bottle was first introduced. It was designed to replace the heavy and breakable earthenware jugs that were being used. The new design allowed for easy transportation of milk from farms to homes, while also being able to be stored without any risk of breakage. The glass milk bottle soon became a staple in households across America.

The use of a glass milk bottle had many benefits for those who used them. They were lighter than their predecessor and could be transported easily, which allowed for more efficient distribution and delivery of dairy products. They also did not break as easily as their predecessor, which made them safer for children to play with and handle in general.
