Historic Reproduction Storm Glass

Invented in the 19th century by Admiral FitzRoy, the famous sailor and meteorologist, this amazing and mysterious liquid and crystal filled storm glass device is used for predicting the weather up to 2 days in advance. You'll see changes in the crystal formations if it will be fair weather (clear liquid), rainy weather (murky liquid), thunderstorms (crystals at the top), cloudy skies with snow (large flaky crystals) and even windy weather (threads of crystals). A wonderfully simple antique reproduction with an elegant wooden base. Measures 17cm tall.
