Thirteen have stoppers in them; one of these has a stopper wrapped in paper in it. About half of the beaker stoppers have teardrop-shaped tops, the other half have bulb-shaped tops. Six of the flasks are open, but have what appear to be stoppers wrapped in paper tied to them. Nine of the flasks with stoppers have a strip of paper passing through the neck of the flask, between the stopper and the neck (to avoid sealing).
