Bellaware 60 Minute Metal Hourglass Sand Timer, Decorative Large Size Sand Clock (Bronze)

I absolutely love this item. Well made. Very sturdy and so elegant! Well worth the money!

This is a solidly built, attractively finished Hourglass that fits well on a good sized desk or as shelf decor. It feels heavy when lifted, is very stable and the sand flows evenly through the full 60 minutes, giving a small cascade or landslide effect every few seconds on the bottom when the collected cone of sand reaches a tipping point. The old brass finish is just what I was looking for, but I imagine the bright brass would be just as nice looking if your decor was a little different. Mine runs for about 61 minutes roughly, yours may vary, but if you’re looking for precision timekeeping, an hourglass is not going to be your first choice. I liked the hour timeframe, so I can periodically watch the “sands of time” slipping past, but the 30 minute version might be a good choice for smaller display locations. A small amount of sand grains adhere to the top bulb after the sand has all run thru, probably due to static buildup - this is scarcely noticeable, though, and a single small tap of “divine intervention” on the bulb releases the grains which drop in a quick stream of about one or two seconds. Great fun to watch, quite lovely and meditative. If a decorative but functional hourglass is on your list, you will be hard pressed to find one any nicer than this at the price.

Just what I wanted!

I purchased this hourglass for decor. It does have issues with fluidity… the last bit of sand tends to not flow down. Not a deal-breaker for me. It’s gorgeous & a good value.

It is perfect

It was very nice.

I've restarted this 4 times now over 4 days. The sand is wet or moist so that it clumps and does not perform as it should. Flow just stops. I have yet to see 1 clean cycle that runs clean through. If I can't get a replacement I'll have to return this one...

Very well constructed Sand runs well over a hour if that matters? I am pleased with the buy

If you want one of these items, I recommend this, the frame acts as a protector for the glass. It is made of solid material so has some weight giving it more stability. My husband loves it and uses it often in his study. Keeps good time. Highly recommend

Item was exactly as shown and described on internet images and photos, and delivery was prompt and timely.

This arrived bigger than I thought and great quality, can’t wait to gift it for Christmas. Highly recommended. Looks more expensive than the photo.

Well made. Small but strong. Does 55mins to 1 hour. So is fairly accurate as needed! Aesthetically pleasing.

I ordered this item and one arrived broken. I ordered it again but realised that it is not an accurate 60 minute timer. I understand in the description it says decorative but I think it would ne helpful to more clearly state that it is not for functional use as the timing isn't accurate. Its does look nice if that's what people want it for.
