A pair of glass laboratory bottles, one of which is made of amber glass, preserved with their cork stoppers and original handwritten labels. The inscriptions are particularly striking: one reads "Epistaxis Blood - Lady - March 12, 1910", the other "Cancer - Diet - Nov 3, 1910". These indications directly refer to biological samples and medical or experimental observations from the early 20th century, a time when laboratories stored samples in these small containers. The amber glass, used to protect certain light-sensitive contents, reinforces the technical nature of the set. The internal deposits and general patina bear witness to their authenticity and former scientific use.
