Experience the Mystery: Handmade Lunde Design Storm Glass
Step into a world of nautical history and vintage charm with this exquisite, handmade storm glass from Lunde Design Denmark.
This is not merely a decoration; it’s a modern reproduction of the legendary "FitzRoy's Storm Barometer," a device made famous by Admiral Robert FitzRoy, captain of the HMS Beagle.
Inside the elegant brass cylinder, a sealed glass tube holds a crystalline liquid that fascinatingly reacts to changes in temperature, creating unique patterns of snowflakes, threads, and delicate crystals. Sailors once used these mesmerising formations to gain a hint of what the weather might bring.
The unique novelty of this item lies in its blend of history and science. It’s a captivating and beautiful conversation piece that quietly changes its appearance throughout the day.
This piece comes with a brass bracket, allowing it to be securely mounted to a wall at home or onboard.
This Lunde Design storm glass is genuine Danish craftsmanship and a captivating piece of maritime heritage. Purchased in Copenhagen from a ship chandlery in the 1990's.
A perfect gift for the discerning collector, history enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates the beauty of the old world.
Dimensions: cylinder is 130 x 40mm
