Description

Part weather curiosity, part sculptural décor, this eye-catching storm glass transforms changes in the atmosphere into ever-shifting crystal formations.In the 1800s, during his voyage with Charles Darwin, Admiral Robert FitzRoy used and later popularized the storm glass, a device believed to offer clues about changing weather.A beautiful twist on this classic instrument, the Storm Cloud is filled with a special liquid that forms different crystal patterns as conditions shift. Depending on the formations inside, the glass may suggest fair skies, clouds, rain, wind, or storms.Striking and endlessly intriguing, the cloud-shaped design makes an unusual decorative accent while adding a little everyday science and wonder to your space.A WEATHER FORECAST IN A CLOUD: Watch crystal formations change inside the glass, creating an engaging visual way to observe shifts associated with different weather conditions.A MODERN TAKE ON A 19TH-CENTURY WEATHER INSTRUMENT: Inspired by the storm glass popularized by Admiral Robert FitzRoy, this clever object gives a historic meteorological curiosity a contemporary design update.SCIENCE MEETS STATEMENT DÉCOR: Equal parts experiment and design object, the sculptural cloud brings visual interest and a sense of discovery to home or office.A CONVERSATION STARTER FOR WEATHER & SCIENCE FANS: A fun pick for weather watchers, cloudspotters, science buffs, design lovers, and anyone fascinated by the natural world.A DISTINCTIVE GIFT WITH A LITTLE WOW FACTOR: An unexpected choice for birthdays, holidays, housewarmings, office gifts, and anyone who appreciates unusual objects with a story behind them.

    • Super cute gift
Format: Book Supplement
I'm not sure if this actually works, but it's a cute gift idea for anyone who likes weather.

    • Fun Gift for Weather Afficionados
Format: Book Supplement
My husband is obsessed with checking the weather to the point that I never have to check it myself: I simply wait for him to report in to me (which he does multiple times per day 😂). Our daughter and I decided this novelty item would be a great little birthday gift for our weather nerd. Indeed, he LOVED it! It holds a place of honor in his office and makes him smile when he looks at it. I’m so glad we found this for him. ... show more

    • Does not predict weather
Format: Book Supplement
Very cute for decoration but have not had any indication that it works yet? The package says it needs to be sitting for a week for it to begin working and I have not seen a change but it has only been a couple of days. Very cute but wish it worked :(

    • More decorative than functional
Format: Book Supplement
I really wanted to like this a lot and brought it for actual functionality. Hopefully. But I find that it doesn’t quite shift and change. I get pretty the same display summer or winter. I still like it for decorative purposes but wished it worked better. It is a little pricey for decoration only.

    • Don't waste your money!
Format: Book Supplement
I wanted this to work so bad because it is so cute. However, I followed all instructions and it does not work at all, not even a little. Some clusters will form at the bottom but it never changes no matter the weather. The directions also say it can take a few weeks for it to acclimate so by the time I was completely dissatisfied and tried to return I had missed the window. As much as I wanted this product to work or even change slightly with the weather, I should have listened to other reviews that it doesn't do what it says and save my money. Don't make the same mistake as me. ... show more

Man, do I love this thing! My hopes were not high, but after a few months of letting it settle, it’s finally working! Super fun for an office, and placed near a window but not in direct sunlight.
