You can get nearly identical bell jars at Bargain Fair on Fairfax & Beverly for about 12 bucks. And you can get that globe for cheaper on the Sundance site.

What you have labeled 'experimental flasks' are actually called Erlenmeyer flasks.
I'm also a big fan of volumetric flasks which have lovely curves to them.
If you want lab glassware, try a catalog like Kimble Kontes, but beware that the US gov't has restrictions on what the public is allowed to own.

The Erlenmeyer flasks are called "Experimental Flasks" by Anthropologie on their site- that's the name they've given the product.

A good place to find such items is a surplus store like Axman in Minneapolis...there are all sorts of flasks, beakers, test tubes, etc... One of my friends (chemistry grad student) actually made a pretty rad bar set using all science glassware for about $40.00.
...and NEVER eat or drink out of chemistry labware that has been used. Decor, sure, but man...that is an accident waiting to happen.

Is this a post or an Anthropologie ad?

Plantus? Really? Would it have killed them to write 'Plantae' instead?
This stuff is... painfully overpriced. Come on, you can get REAL scientific equipment for fairly cheaply! Why bother with this stuff?
...Plantus. Honestly.

Anthropologie, like IKEA, seems to polarize people, though for very different reasons. Guess they both must be doing something right!
Most if not all of these pictured products appear to be reproductions. I'd much prefer the 'real' thing.

another endorsement for sciplus.com -- been buying "science decor" from them for years. their prices put anthropologie to shame.
