Description from the seller


Storm/ thunder glass on a wooden plank with a brass catch basin, the operation is as follows: at high air pressure (good weather), the liquid level in the spout is pushed down, and at low air pressure (bad weather, rain), the level is pushed up in the spout. When a thunderstorm is approaching, the liquid will rise and come out of the spout, hence the catch basin. The thunder glass is 22.5 cm high and 9 cm wide. The empty storm glass can be filled via the spout, preferably with distilled water to prevent lime buildup — shipped traceable.
