    Description
    Differently shaped glass vessels for Theodore Haak's experiments of frost separating parts of coloured water (coloured with cochineal) or mixed with other liquids. This paper was read to the Royal Society on 30 December 1663.

    Compared to the original paper (Cl.P/4i/9/002), the figure of glass bottle is integrated into the text, is modelled three-dimensionally and casts a shadow.
