Description from the seller
Set of 3 Vintage Galileo Galilei Glass Thermometers - 43cm and 2 × 34cm
A beautiful and captivating lot of three (3) classic Galileo Galilei thermometers made of high-quality blown glass.
Based on the physics principle discovered by Galileo Galilei, these decorative instruments measure room temperature through the buoyancy of precisely calibrated, colorful glass spheres.
As the ambient temperature shifts, the liquid inside the cylinders changes density, causing the spheres to rise or sink.
- 1x Large Thermometer: Height : 43 cm (features dark blue and green glass spheres)
- 1x Medium Thermometer: Height 34 cm (features vibrant red, yellow, and blue glass spheres)
- 1x Medium Thermometer: Height 34 cm (features purple, blue, and teal glass spheres)
Excellent condition. The glass bodies are perfectly intact with no cracks or deep scratches. All internal liquid spheres are completely sealed, correctly calibrated, and fully functional. The golden and silver-toned temperature tags are clean and clearly legible, currently indicating a consistent ambient temperature between 21°C and 22°C across all three pieces.
Due to the highly fragile nature of these glass instruments, this lot will be packed with professional care. Each thermometer will be individually secured in thick bubble wrap and housed in a sturdy, shock-absorbent box to ensure they arrive safely at their destination. Worldwide tracked shipping.
