A bottle holder of an image recording apparatus, which holds removably an ink bottle including an ink outlet, has an ink outlet connecting part for connecting the ink outlet, a guide having a guide surface that contacts the ink bottle to guide the ink bottle along a predetermined axis when the ink bottle is fit, a resisting part that is provided on the bottle guide surface and contacts the ink bottle to serve as a resistor to resist the movement of the ink bottle when the ink bottle is removed along the guide axis, and an ink receiving part to receive the ink dripped from the ink outlet. The ink receiving part is located relatively to the resisting part so as to position below the ink outlet when the ink bottle contacts the resistor upon the removal.
