Description

This custom ziricote hourglass is handcrafted from solid ziricote wood grown in Mexico. Often referred to as a "poor man's" ebony, this is a dark, very striking wood. The color is brown with irregular dark brown and black streaking. Ziricote is the most dramatic member of the Cordia genus, which grows in Central and tropical South America. It it also the heaviest, most dense wood we carry. Combined with glass bulbs hand-blown in England, this sand timer makes a bold statement in any room.

As with all wood each piece will vary slightly in graining and color making each hourglass unique. Hourglasses are handmade so sizes are approximate.

6X10 SIZE CAN ALSO BE ORDERED WITH 30 MINUTE, 45 MINUTE OR 50 MINUTE GLOBE **6x10 SIZE ALSO AVAILABLE WITH WHITE, DARK BLUE, YELLOW, PINK OR GREEN SAND - click here**

22-Sep-11 Very nice accessory, by Jimmy from El Segundo, CA

Comments:

This hourglass is a very nice, good quality accessory which is thought evoking, soothing to watch and has been a conversation piece on many occasions. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because *every* now and then it gets stuck and the sand stops flowing but I don't use it as an oven timer so it's not really that big of a deal.

Service Comments:

It's been a long time since I purchased this hourglass but from what I remember the service was good.

BOTTOM LINE

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

22-Sep-11 Happy Customer with a fabulous piece!, by Happy Customer from Texas

Comments:

My husband and I absolutely love our piece! It was an anniversary present for him and it sits on his desk and he and our kids love to turn it over and watch the sand. We love this hourglass! Great quality too! Very special.

Service Comments:

Quality service....well made. Thank you. Timeless piece.
