Glacier Storm Glass: a little winter on your desk
A glacier storm glass with a minimalist design
This glacier storm glass swaps the traditional vial for a faceted, cut-crystal shape. Inside, a clear solution forms crystals that keep changing: fine threads like frost, flakes in suspension or a snowy layer at the bottom. The dark wooden base adds warmth and anchors it on a desk, shelf or bedside table. The quality glass lets the light through, making every formation even more visible.
A crystal barometer to give as a gift
The storm glass barometer has fascinated people since the days of Admiral FitzRoy, who used it aboard his ships. Today we know its crystals respond mainly to changes in temperature, but the show is just the same: a landscape that never repeats itself. It is an original present for someone who loves contemplative objects, a colleague, a mum or a weather enthusiast. Its smart box means it is ready to give.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the glacier storm glass work?
Inside the sealed glass, a clear solution forms crystals that change with the room temperature, from fine frost-like threads to flakes or a snowy layer at the bottom. It responds mainly to temperature, so it is a display piece rather than a weather forecaster.
What is it made of?
It is a faceted glass prism on a dark wooden base. The quality glass lets the light through, which makes the crystal formations easier to see.
How should I look after it?
Do not open the glass, and keep it out of direct sunlight. A desk, shelf or bedside table away from a sunny window is a good spot.
What is the history behind the storm glass?
It is based on the 19th-century crystal barometer that Admiral FitzRoy used at sea. It arrives in a box, with one storm glass on its base.
