Hourglass Timer, 15 Minutes Embossed Golden Hourglass Timer,Used for Vintage Home Decoration, Office/Desk Decoration, Kitchen Wedding Gifts (P1-G42U-8VJR)

It is small and isn't an accurate timer. But, it is very pretty and well made. No regrets here.

When I can't motivate myself to get started on something that will take a long time to accomplish, I flip this lovely little 15-minute sand timer. I tell myself, "it's only 15 minutes." I just bought a 3 minute sand timer, because sometimes, when I am weary or brain fogged, even 15 minutes seems too long.

Beautiful

Great quality and was accurate! Plan to use with my business.

This was a gift for my son. He really likes the vintage look. It was packaged well and works as it should. It could have been made a little better. You could see hot glue in multiple spots.

This hourglass is absolutely darling, and it's honestly far cuter in person than in the listing photos, so I would 100% buy it again. I've included a few photos, but here are what I especially liked:* The size is perfect because it's big enough to display without being too big and taking up a lot of space.* It is also actually metal vs. plastic, although it's definitely too lightweight to be true brass, so it's most likely an aluminum blend.* Since I plan to use this as a display piece, I honestly wasn't really concerned whether it was accurate as a timer, but I timed it just out of curiosity, and at 14:58, it was actually surprisingly close in that respect.* The "sand" inside has a lovely sparkly appearance that's more like crushed glass or mica powder vs. plain beach sand.* Before buying this, I couldn't tell if the flower/medallion detail between the two bulbs of the hourglass was clear/see-through or some sort of faux gemstone, so I was extremely happy to see that it's more of a "window" to watch the sand trickling through. Therefore, I'm including a close-up photo to try to show that.The only negative angle that I found was in regards to the gift box vs. the hourglass itself:* The gift box did actually seem to be made of decent materials, so it would have been a nice "bonus" detail if it was undamaged, but mine unfortunately arrived visibly crushed on one side of the box. In my case, I bought this hourglass for myself, so it isn't worth returning it just for that. However, since the outer box from Amazon was fully intact, the gift box was clearly a seller defect and not damaged during shipping.

Very pretty on my mantel... but kinda small for the price paid

This little hourglass is just gorgeous! Well-made and it comes in a nice ornate cloth lined box for gifting.
