I'm trying to imagine the situation where pottery with pointed bottoms is ideal.
You can put the pointed bottom in soft ground to keep it upright. Very handy, when floors and pavement aren't everywhere.
Maybe there's also an advantage during production and for longevity. I'd imagine making and keeping bottoms sealed is easier when they're pointy?
Might be! What I don't know about pottery could fill libraries XD
