Looks lovely on the bookshelf in the lounge, the coloured sand catches the light nicely and the cocktail glass shape gets comments from visitors. Only reservation is that it’s a touch lighter than I pictured, but it’s sturdy enough on a flat surface.

third hourglass I’ve bought from here and it’s another good one. Timing is close enough to a minute for what I use it for (tea brewing, mostly). Arrived well wrapped and quicker than expected. Knocked off a star only because the glass shows fingerprints something rotten.

Bought this for my nephew who is obsessed with how things work, and he spent a good twenty minutes just flipping it and watching the sand. The grains fall through the narrow neck in a thin, steady stream and pile up into a little coloured cone at the bottom, which he found hypnotic. Now it’s on his desk and he uses it to time his toothbrushing. Spot on.

Got this for my grandson’s room and he couldn’t be more chuffed! He loves watching the sands drop while he reads, and now he times his reading sprints with it for fun. Lovely bit of decoration, looks fab on his shelf!

The design is cracking. Always had a thing for these science-y beauties. Sand flows gracefully through this miniature glass, feels like holding a bit of time in one’s hand. Makes for a brilliant conversational piece.
