Bottlemaker

/ˈbɒtəlˌmeɪkər/ noun

Definition

A person or company that manufactures bottles.

Etymology

Compound from 'bottle' and 'maker,' a standard English agent noun formation. This occupation became prominent during the Industrial Revolution with the growth of glass manufacturing.

Kelly Says

Bottlemakers were the architects of global trade—without industrial glass bottle manufacturing in the 1800s, you couldn't mass-produce beer, wine, medicine, or perfume, so bottlemakers literally enabled modern consumer culture.
