Description
The Storm Glass Globe is an elegant and unique decorative item that combines scientific history and aesthetics. Inspired by the historical “storm glasses” used by sailors in the 18th century, this glass barometer predicts weather conditions through crystallization within.
Their function dates back to the mid-18th century, as they were widely used on ships from 1750, even by Charles Darwin himself on his voyage to the Galapagos Islands!
How it works
The crystalline patterns within the liquid change form depending on atmospheric conditions:
- Clear liquid → Fair weather
- Cloudy liquid with small crystals → Storm approaching
- Visible white crystals → Humidity or fog
The Storm Glass reacts to changes in pressure and temperature, offering stylish weather indications.
