Decorative 11-inch Glass Galileo Thermometer by La Crosse replicates a centuries-old design based on the law of physics. It operates on the principle that as the density of a liquid fluctuates with temperature changes, the floating weighted bulbs will rise or fall detecting the current temperature. It is a functional, yet decorative conversation piece and will enhance any home or office. Blown-glass bulbs are filled with a colourful liquid dye and attached with metal temperature identification tag that displays the current degree. Working with German artisans, we’ve designed the perfect combination of form and function in this 11-inch tall glass cylindrical thermometer, brought to you by La Crosse!

• 11.22" tall decorative cylindrical indoor tabletop glass-blown thermometer
• 5 colourful floating glass bulbs with metal temperature charms that will rise and fall to temperature changes
• Measures temperature from 64°F to 80°F with lowest floating bulb indicating the current temperature
• Indoor use only (tablestanding)
• Contains paraffin oil

Medium-sized Galileo thermometer. Indicates temperatures between: 26C - 18 / 80F - 64F. Packed in a gift box.

• Overall: 15.6'' H x 3.1'' W x 3.1'' D

Ordered two! One came broken! Not packaged properly! Wayfair sent a replacement! Thank you, Wayfair!. Isabelle. Mississauga, ON. 2021-02-06 11:45:16

This thermometer is based on a thermoscope invented by Galileo Galilei in the early 1600`s. It`s made from a clear glass 23.5 inch (60 cm) high, 2.25 inch (6 cm) diameter liquid filled, sealed glass tube with a 3.5 inch (9 cm) diameter base, and 11 coloured liquid filled floating glass bubbles. A metal tag engraved with varying degrees is attached to each bubble acting as counterweights for temperature readings as the bubbles rise and float with the changing temperatures. The bubble floating in the gap between those at the top and bottom indicates the ambient temperature. It makes a wonderful gift for history buffs, or those that like really cool things, and a fun conversational piece for your own home or office!

This was a gift, she loved it.. Theresa. Ottawa, ON. 2023-06-29 11:37:28

This traditional weather station is both a work of art and an instrument at home in any fine study, library, office, or upscale restaurant. The classic weather station measures barometric pressure (liquid). The antique weather station displays an air of quality and accuracy one would expect with a fine, handcrafted weather instrument from Ambient Weather. The concept that 'decreasing atmospheric pressure predicts stormy weather' was postulated by Lucien Video -- and it's the basis for a weather prediction device called a storm glass or liquid barometer. It consists of a glass container with a sealed body, half filled with water. A narrow spout connects to the body below the water level and rises above the water level, where it is open to the atmosphere. When the air pressure is lower than it was at the time the body was sealed, the water level in the spout will rise above the water level in the body and when the air pressure is higher, the water level in the spout will drop below the water level in the body.

• Beautiful, functional, and accurate display of atmospheric pressure changes

• Hand blown glass
• Low level of liquid in the spout is high pressure and fair weather; High level of liquid in the spout is bad weather
• Includes clear glass drip cup

Bought this for my parents as a gift. They love it. Does what it’s supposed to !. Alison. Picton, On. 2024-06-17 08:36:45

• Overall: 5.35'' H x 5.35'' W x 1.75'' D

• Overall: 20'' H x 5'' W x 1.25'' D

• Overall: 8.25'' H x 8.25'' W x 2'' D

This traditional piece is at home in any fine study, office, library, upscale restaurant, or scientific laboratory. The weather station measures temperature (in °F), barometric pressure (mbar and inHg), and humidity (%). The bezels display an air of quality and accuracy one would expect with a fine, handcrafted weather instrument. Note: Barometer only operates to 3,000'. Do not order if you live above 3,000'. Weather Forecasting The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. In general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain). The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather conditions and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather. The barometer includes a manually set needle, which is used to mark the current measurement so a change can be seen. Barometric readings should be taken daily. Remember that the rate of change of barometric pressure is important in determining weather changes. You may want to take multiple readings each day during periods of unstable weather conditions.
