Enter the Storm Glass
The storm glass was an instrument devised in the 17th century as a weather prediction device. It is a sealed, drop-shaped glass (ours is 20cm / 8in tall) that contains a special liquid. The state of crystallization of the liquid was believed to be associated with weather patterns, making it a potentially valuable weather forecasting apparatus – especially for seafarers. It has recently been shown that the storm glass is not a reliable barometer, with temperature being the sole driver of crystallization patterns in the liquid. However, the glass has recently started gaining in popularity as a gorgeous, unique home decor item that rarely fails to spark people’s imagination.
Intrigue your guests with an exotic centerpiece
Add to the uniqueness of your abode by placing the storm glass on a dining table, a workdesk, or any other prominent location within your home. It will please the eye on a daily basis, and serve as a fantastic conversation starter when you’re having people over.
