Description

The Miniature Ornamental Hourglass is the ideal choice for those looking to add a touch of charm and sophistication to small spaces. With a delicate design and compact size, this piece was developed especially for decorative use, allowing you to appreciate the gentle movement of sand in an object that easily fits in the palm of your hand.

Handcrafted, each unit has unique characteristics, resulting in small variations in shape and color that enhance its authenticity. Although it is an item focused on aesthetics and interior design, it allows you to observe the sand falling in a cycle of approximately one minute, making it perfect for composing decorative sets or for individual display on tables and shelves.

Important Notes and Cautions:

  • Purpose: The miniature size is strictly for ornamental use.
  • Time Accuracy: As this is a handmade product, the measurement time serves only as a guide. The standard error is ± 20 seconds, and may vary depending on environmental conditions and atmospheric pressure. Avoid using it for measurements that require absolute precision.
  • Handling and Stability: The body is made of glass, a fragile material. Always use on level and stable surfaces. Do not shake or apply strong impacts, as this may cause damage.
  • Safety: In case of cracks, chips, or structural damage, discontinue use immediately. Keep the product out of reach of small children.
  • Usage Restrictions: Do not use in saunas, baths, or near fire, as sudden temperature changes can damage the glass.
  • Natural Characteristics: In rare cases, small particles of different shades may be observed mixed with the sand, which is a characteristic of the material.
