phials
Apothecary's glass containers
Phials is the plural of phial, a small glass container for liquids, especially medicines or potions.
The word is largely interchangeable with vial, though phial sounds more old-fashioned or literary: The apothecary's shelf held rows of dusty phials.
Phial appears frequently in fantasy and historical fiction.
