STORM GLASS

...ancient instrument from the time when weather forecasting was born...

THE STORM GLASS IS AN ANCIENT METEOROLOGICAL hotsell INSTRUMENT THAT WAS USED TO FORECAST THE WEATHER IN THE 19TH CENTURY. IT IS A SEALED GLASS AMPOULE CONTAINING A SPECIAL SOLUTION IN WHICH A VARIETY OF CRYSTALLINE FORMATIONS GROW DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES.

IT WAS PREVIOUSLY BELIEVED THAT THE APPEARANCE, SHAPE AND SIZE OF CRYSTALLINE FORMATIONS WAS THE KEY FOR PREDICTING THE WEATHER. ALTHOUGH THE STORM GLASS HAS LOST ITS ORIGINAL MEANING, IT STILL REPRESENTS AN ATTRACTIVE AND UNIQUE CURIOSITY FROM THE TIMES WHEN THE WEATHER FORECAST WAS BEING BORN.
