Vials were small glass containers that were used to hold liquids and powders. They could be used in laboratories to conduct experiments or to transport these substances.[2]
Description[]
A typical vial could hold up to 4 fluid ounces (120 cubic centimeters) of liquid. Outside of the laboratory, vials were most commonly used to store and transport acids, antitoxins, perfumes, poisons, and potions.[1]
Availability[]
A variety of vials were available for sale through Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue, along with matching corks and other laboratory glass containers produced in Urmlaspyr by the glass-blowers guild.[2]
Notable Uses[]
- Vials were essential in laboratories,[2] and were also integral components of herbalism kits and poisoner's kits.[1]
- Some healer's bags included several ceramic vials for the purpose of having clean water readily available.[4]
- Travelers typically kept their spices inside of little glass vials, which were encased in whittled wooden 'shielding shells' to guard against breakage.[5]
