Cape Cod Weather Glass
Called the "Poor Man's Barometer", this decorative hand blown glass instrument accurately forecasts the weather, just by using atmospheric pressure. By the late 17th century, most square riggers carried a Weather Glass next to the chart room table. The Weather Glass invokes the aura of past times when men often used simple inventions to guide their daily life. By observing how the water in the spout rises and falls with changing air pressure, you too can observe and predict the weather.12.5"H
