Image description

Sand Glasses Set of four sand glasses, c 1720. This set of sand glasses in an ornate mount of ebony and ivory is probably Italian. The glasses are marked 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 with time intervals indicated by the appropriate number of ivory studs set above and below each glass on the enclosing panels, each stud representing 1/4 hour. Sand glasses were particularly useful in ships, as they are relatively unaffected by the motion of a ship and by violent weather conditions. ©SSPL/Science Museum
