Abstract

A design for water shedding receptacle bottoms is presented in this invention. For ease in understanding, the specific case of a water shedding mug is presented and described in detail. The mug is designed such that water will run off the bottom of the mug when it is inverted in a dishwasher. The design is comprised of a convex bottom with equally spaced feet around the periphery of the bottom of the mug. The convex bottom and feet combine to form flow channels through which water will flow via normal gravitational forces when the mug is inverted in a dishwasher.
