Fitzroy's Storm Glass 28cm
The storm glass was popularised by Admiral Robert Fitzroy after his historic voyage on the HMS Beagle, when the British Crown distributed these to the populace after a particularly violent storm season. These historical weather forecasting devices are filled with a liquid that allows you to forecast the weather by observing the appearance of liquid in the glass. Modern meteorology is far more accurate, but these elegant glasses still hold aesthetic appeal. The storm glass is 28cm tall. Best suited to older children and adults.
