Product Description
Forget the weather app on your smartphone! This historically-inspired water barometer, also known as a "weather glass" or "thunderglass," shows one of the earliest known weather forecasting tools. The water level in the spout rises and falls with changes in atmospheric pressure. From the arrival of the first colonists in the early 1600s, fisherman, farmers and gardeners relied on this method for centuries to predict a coming storm.
A lovely combination of ingenuity and artfulness, this thunderglass comes with a cast iron filigree holder. Ink included, just add water for a striking display. This water barometer makes a unique gift item or a perfect accent for your colonial-inspired garden.
