瓶 is formed from 并 on the top and 瓦 on the bottom. 并 represents things brought together or combined, while 瓦 means tile or pottery. Together, they show something made by shaping material into a solid container. From this structure, 瓶 came to mean bottle, jar, or container.
瓶 shows a shaped container, meaning bottle or jar.
Think of clay or material (瓦) being shaped and assembled (并) into a container. That finished container used to hold liquid is 瓶. Remember 瓶 as a solid bottle made from formed material.
