The flared base is just for show, inside it has straight sides.
The flared base is to keep it from tipping over during travel, which space stations are known to do a lot of.
No, these were for sale everywhere in the 90s, separate from the show. The idea was you could put your coffee on the dash or on a table in the back of an RV and not have it spill. There was typically a rubber, non-skid bottom.
Now, they’re nowhere.
Cup holder technology made them redundant, and also useless, since they don’t fit in any.
I choose to believe it's for battle
NEXT question: is the base solid clay or is there hollow space between the cylinder and the corners?
