Hi Anna,
The one I own has a crude enough mold seam that I can lay it sideways, and it wont roll off the shelf because the seam is so deep it stops it []. Round bottom bottles were, if my memory serves me right, originaly stored on racks at an angle, so as to keep the carbonation from excaping from the cork to fast. You could make your own rack, I do not know if they sell bottle racks that would hold the bottle correctly. You could also lean it up against something, then stick some putty under it to keep it there.
Cheers!
Michael

Here's one way...

I use the plastic lids of dish soap or spray cleaner to set the bottle in.

This is one of the cheaper ones you'll find. I've seen some ornate ones go VERY high.

I would like to have four or five of them , but I do not want to own some of them that bad ! Guess my round bottoms will just have to lay around unless I go out into the shop and make some kind of stands for them .

Hey Anna,

I thought you were talking about this one:

From the Poison Hall.

If I remember correctly, Jim/epackage made some stands for his quart Hutches from plexiglass that looked great and were not too hard to build. Are you gonna show us yer submarine?
