Small cardboard box (without lid) containing a set of glass tubes closed with handwritten cork stoppers, each with ink annotations directly on the cork (abbreviated names, numbering, dilution indications). The set is particularly interesting due to this practice of identification on the stoppers, typical of daily use in a laboratory or dispensary. The tubes still contain their granules, with various labels evoking different preparations. A raw and authentic set, with a strong visual presence, ideal for display in a cabinet of curiosities.
