Good Chemistry: Painted Beakers

Good Morning friends! I got these little glass beakers at the Rose Bowl flea market  (3 for $5!) and decided to paint them. I gave them 2 coats of acrylic paint and am so happy with my new single-stem vases! I think they would make a lovely gift, or be so sweet on tables at a cafe, no?  I never get bored of how just a little paint can transform an object.

   I love these! Very beautiful. However, I am a chemist, and I just thought you should know that these are volumetric flasks.
