This is a beautiful piece of home decor. It is of high quality

Very well constructedSand runs well over a hour if that matters?I am pleased with the buy

Really nice but bigger than I needed so I sent back.

This is a solidly built, attractively finished Hourglass that fits well on a good sized desk or as shelf decor. It feels heavy when lifted, is very stable and the sand flows evenly through the full 60 minutes, giving a small cascade or landslide effect every few seconds on the bottom when the collected cone of sand reaches a tipping point. The old brass finish is just what I was looking for, but I imagine the bright brass would be just as nice looking if your decor was a little different. Mine runs for about 61 minutes roughly, yours may vary, but if you’re looking for precision timekeeping, an hourglass is not going to be your first choice. I liked the hour timeframe, so I can periodically watch the “sands of time” slipping past, but the 30 minute version might be a good choice for smaller display locations. A small amount of sand grains adhere to the top bulb after the sand has all run thru, probably due to static buildup - this is scarcely noticeable, though, and a single small tap of “divine intervention” on the bulb releases the grains which drop in a quick stream of about one or two seconds. Great fun to watch, quite lovely and meditative. If a decorative but functional hourglass is on your list, you will be hard pressed to find one any nicer than this at the price.

From the first time I used it, the sand just sticks and it does not work properly

Size and color

I love it
