Glyph origin

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *beːŋ) : phonetic (OC *peŋ, *peŋs) + semantic (earthenware). According to the radical, it originally indicates an earthenware vessel, i.e., not a glass bottle. It had a long slender neck opening up to a narrow mouth. However, 瓶 was also part of ritual bronzes in ancient China, hence it was made of bronze when used during rituals.

Today, it indicates bottles of any kind and dimension.

Etymology

Austroasiatic; compare Khmer ពីង (piing, swollen, potbellied, earthen water pot) (Schuessler, 2007).
