Bought this for my study shelf and it looks like it belongs in an old curiosity shop. The sand runs through so smoothly, and I caught myself watching the thin stream for a good ten minutes. The copper-effect finish has a lovely warm tone that catches the lamp light in the evenings. My husband has already asked where I found it.

Got this for my grandson who loves anything old-fashioned. He turned it over and over and grinned from ear to ear. Lovely little thing.

spot on. my daughter (9) has claimed it as her ‘potion timer’ and now every bedtime tooth-brushing session is timed with it. She thinks it’s proper pirate treasure. Weighty enough to feel well made and arrived wrapped carefully.

Another good buy from here. Nice rustic look and it feels solid in the hand. Only small niggle is the metal finish looks a touch more shiny in person than in the pictures, but it grows on you. Sitting happily on my desk.

bought this for my grandson Alfie who’s seven and he’s barely put it down since the postie dropped it off. He turns it over and watches the sand with his chin on the table, then asks me how long it’ll take every single time. Looks lovely on his bookshelf too. Brilliant.

Spot on. The copper-plated frame has a lovely aged look and the glass feels properly solid.
