straight walled beakers

I'm looking for straight walled beakers. These are really useful for boiling the product out of RB and evap flasks. The lip allows too much solvent to escape.

Not sure if you just want a beaker without a pour spout or more of a tall crystallizing dish. I use crystallizing dishes for this type of task, but the are wider than they are tall.

There are also TLC chambers made that are just simple cylinders, typically about 60 mm diameter by 110-120 mm height. I have a few left. Not sure if they are all borosilicate glass, but at least some of them are made of that. I still would not heat them too strongly. Here are two examples:
