Part weather curiosity, part sculptural décor, this eye-catching storm glass transforms changes in the atmosphere into ever-shifting crystal formations. In the 1800s, during his voyage with Charles Darwin, Admiral Robert FitzRoy used and later popularized the storm glass, a device believed to offer clues about changing weather. A beautiful twist on this classic instrument, the Storm Cloud is filled with a special liquid that forms different crystal patterns as conditions shift. Depending on the formations inside, the glass may suggest fair skies, clouds, rain, wind, or storms. Striking and endlessly intriguing, the cloud-shaped design makes an unusual decorative accent while adding a little everyday science and wonder to your space. A WEATHER FORECAST IN A CLOUD: Watch crystal formations change inside the glass, creating an engaging visual way to observe shifts associated with different weather conditions. A MODERN TAKE ON A 19TH-CENTURY WEATHER INSTRUMENT: Inspired by the storm glass popularized by Admiral Robert FitzRoy, this clever object gives a historic meteorological curiosity a contemporary design update. SCIENCE MEETS STATEMENT DÉCOR: Equal parts experiment and design object, the sculptural cloud brings visual interest and a sense of discovery to home or office.


A CONVERSATION STARTER FOR WEATHER & SCIENCE FANS: A fun pick for weather watchers, cloudspotters, science buffs, design lovers, and anyone fascinated by the natural world. A DISTINCTIVE GIFT WITH A LITTLE WOW FACTOR: An unexpected choice for birthdays, holidays, housewarmings, office gifts, and anyone who appreciates unusual objects with a story behind them.
