Spanish term
pie de copa
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Archaeology
This is from an academic article concerning how to correctly protect delicate archaeological objects or works of art during transportation and storage and two practical cases are considered. One of these involves "una botella con pie de copa" This is the bottle in question:

Sometimes the expression is translated as a "stem", but in this case the bottle doesn't really have a stem as such so it doesn't really seem appropriate. I was thinking maybe of a "pedestal base" but I wonder if there's something better.
British English but all contributions are welcome.
