Pottles were replaced in the mid-1800s by the more practical rectangular punnet. The terms 'pottle' and 'punnet' were often used interchangeably. As reported in an 1879 issue of The Gentleman's Magazine, the conical pottle had given way to the punnet, being mainly manufactured in Brentford of deal, or the more preferred willow, by hundreds of women and children.

Tangy Fruits were small edible fruit flavoured round candies, often sold in New Zealand at movie theatres. They were served in pottles, which typically weigh 160 grams. The unique packaging of Tangy Fruits was considered perfect for cinemas, as there was no disturbing rustling when one reached for a second helping. In addition, they rolled well down the aisles and were perfect for throwing/biffing.

In the late eighteenth century strawberries and some soft fruit were sold in pottles; conical woodchip baskets (see illustration, right) the tapering shape being thought to reduce damage to fruit at the bottom. The pottle used in England and Scotland at that time contained nominally, one Scottish pint. They were stacked, fifty or sixty together, into square hampers for transport to the market placed upon a woman's head on a small cushion, and over longer distances in a light carriage of frame work hung on springs. The Saturday Magazine in 1834 records 'pottle baskets' being made by women and children in their homes for six pence a dozen by steeping the cut wood in water, and splitting it into strips of dimensions needed for each part of the basket.
