Small glass laboratory flask, preserved with its original cork stopper and, most importantly, accompanied by a handwritten hanging label, attached to the neck with an old thread. The inscription "Liquide minéral végétal (voir le livre 3) page 60" (Vegetable mineral liquid (see book 3) page 60) suggests a specific preparation, probably from a protocol or a technical work, which strongly enhances the documentary interest of the piece. In addition, there is a second handwritten inscription directly on the stopper, a particularly sought-after element because it is rarely preserved, testifying to real use in a laboratory or pharmacy. The whole exudes a beautiful authenticity, between scientific practice and written memory.
