    Picked up this lab flask just because it has oriental writing on it and I like strange things. Was only .50 cents but I'm curious what the writing means and if this is common. Thanks for any info!!!

    The characters in Chinese are tóng chūn but they don't form any word I recognize. My guess is it's the mfg name. The most common meaning for "tong" (or tung) is "same" or "together" and "chun" means "spring."

    Hi,
    The beaded edging on the bottom is a fairy new process to keep the jar from sticking to points. It is used a lot on food packaging in jars.

    Yes gregsglass I've never seen it used on lab ware though, perhaps this came in with the china virus :cigar::cigar::cigar::cigar:
