Originating from the 19th-century meteorological instrument known as the "Storm Glass,"
the solution inside the bottle transforms into various shapes—like snowflakes, feathers, or crystals—in response to environmental changes.
It's not just a charming decoration for your home or office; it's a miniature weather station blending chemistry and natural observation!

The five appearances of the weather bottle represent:
‧ When the sky is overcast and cloudy, the liquid in the bottle becomes murkier.
‧ When the weather is clear and the sun is shining, the liquid in the bottle becomes transparent.
‧ When the temperature drops or it rains, feathery crystals in the bottle grow larger and increase.
‧ As the temperature rises and the weather calms, the crystals in the bottle decrease.
‧ When it snows or frost appears, star-shaped crystals fall within the bottle.
💡 Placement Suggestion: For more noticeable changes, please place it in a stable indoor environment (avoid direct sunlight and air conditioning drafts).

What is a Weather Bottle?
The Storm Glass, also known as a "weather bottle," contains a mixture of camphor, alcohol, water, and other ingredients.
Its concept originates from the weather predictors (Storm Glass) used by sailors in the 19th century.
In the 19th century, the British Navy used it to forecast storms, and it's said that Darwin's ship also carried one!
While not as precise as modern instruments, its changes reflect atmospheric pressure and temperature, making it a fascinating chemical observation bottle.
The weather bottle also made an appearance in the famous novelist Jules Gabriel Verne's 1873 work, *Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas*, aboard the submarine "Nautilus."

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can it really predict the weather?
It's more of a visual representation of changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature. While not as accurate as meteorological services, its transformations are truly beautiful!
Q: Where is the best place to put it?
We recommend placing it in a stable indoor environment, away from direct sunlight and air conditioning drafts.
Q: The liquid doesn't seem to change much?
Please allow 1-2 days for it to stabilize, then observe. Changes become more apparent when there are significant temperature fluctuations.
