Small cardboard box (without lid) containing a set of 23 glass tubes closed with handwritten cork stoppers, each bearing ink annotations directly on the cork (abbreviated names, numbering, dilution indications). The set is particularly interesting due to this practice of identifying on the stoppers, typical of daily use in a laboratory or pharmacy. The tubes still contain their granules, with various labels suggesting different preparations. A raw and authentic set, with a strong visual presence, ideal for display in a cabinet of curiosities.
