This is a solid hourglass with a beautiful finish that would look good on a large table or shelf. It feels heavy when lifted, it's very stable, and the sand flows evenly for a full 60 minutes, creating a slight cascading or landslide effect on the ground every few seconds as the collected cone of sand reaches the tipping point. The aged brass finish is exactly what I was looking for, but I imagine light brass would look just as pretty if your decor was a little different. Mine runs for about 61 minutes, yours may vary, but if you're looking for accurate timekeeping, an hourglass isn't your first choice. I liked the hourly time frame so I can occasionally watch the time go by, but the 30 minute version can be a good choice for smaller screens. A small amount of sand clings to the upper bulb after the sand has completely seeped out, likely due to static electricity - but this is barely noticeable, and a small push of "divine intervention" on the bulb loosens the grains of sand falling . in fast flow for about a second or two. Very fun to watch, quite cute and meditative. If you have a decorative yet functional hourglass on your list, you'll be hard pressed to find a better one than this one for the price.
