Preview:
I love that Sherlock loves his chemistry, so I used real screw-top test tubes (the plastic variety). I drilled holes in the caps so that I could hang them.
It holds tiny things like tic-tacs quite nicely :-)

I nestled a little glass bead in the cap for a spot of color.
Tubes and caps, not counting the hanging loop/clasp, are slightly over 4.5 cm long.

Alas, I don't think there's an appropriate quote anyway for a bottle to contain things what do not do anything interesting to my brain except stop me being in too much pain to think. (I hate arthritis.)
