Crafted with cold cast resin and intricate in design this is a great piece for medieval enthusiasts. Legend reads that gargoyles offer protection from evil spirits!
very unique it is as shown in pictures
So after much decision I decided to get this hourglass. I had heard many horror stories about resin-based ones but as I wanted a fantasy style piece my hands were more-or-less tied. Upon receiving this through the mail, I was pleased to see it was well packaged for overseas post. I then unpacked it to find it was in good condition and the details were as I expected them to be.
There is a slight wobble as the bases aren't completely flat, but it stands straight and does not tip over, so it doesn't bother me. I then timed the sand and it is 1 minute too fast but the site does explain there may be variations so I planned for this. A 3 minute timer still suits me fine for use when running Dungeons and Dragons games, so while it's a bit of a shame it isn't more calibrated, it isn't the end of the world for me.
Good detail and sturdy build, if a little wonky.
Be careful about time accuracy, as stated these are more ornamental than time-keeping pieces.

In an effort to reduce technology in my life, I bought this beautiful, accurate hourglass. It is accurate as well as lovely. It arrived well- package and swiftly.
Received within the correct timeframe as indicated. An extremely beautiful piece made with high quality. I was really happy to receive despite the heavy reasoning for ordering. Thank you for the piece.
My husband loved it.
Such a great item and does exactly what it says. Times for 1 minute. Do not hesitate to get yours, it's worth the money and so much better than the other timers that are on Amazon etc.
The team were really helpful for my delivery and will definitely be purchasing again in the future.
I had ordered a Bobbin barometer and added the sand timer because I thought it looked interesting. Not only is it interesting, but it far exceeded my expectations. The compass works correctly and the clock keeps perfect time. It is a great piece to add to my collection. I on the waiting list if one ever comes for sale again.
