A new interpretation of the well-known SÖRENSEN storm glass, designed by Peter Jessen for DELITE. Encased in a filigree brushed stainless steel housing is a glass filled with a solution that indicates atmospheric changes by means of crystalline structures. The crystal formations react sensitively to fluctuations in temperature and air pressure. The storm glass can be set up free-standing or hung up using the wall bracket supplied. The enclosed instructions describe typical appearances of the crystals and their possible interpretation with regard to changing weather conditions. The instrument is suitable for use on board or on land and is supplied in sturdy cardboard packaging. A gift box made of rosewood (art. no. 5508-105) is available separately. Made near Copenhagen by the Danish manufacturer DELITE.

Use and interpretation
For optimal use, hang the storm glass in a cool room. Crystal formation is delayed (for the next 24 to 48 hours) and should not be taken as an exact weather forecast. In stable weather conditions, the liquid usually remains clear, while cloudiness, flakes or crystals indicate possible changes in the weather. Examples from the enclosed interpretation table:

  • Clear liquid - stable weather
  • Cloudy liquid - damp, windy weather
  • Crystals at the bottom - risk of frost
  • Flaky structures - probable change in weather
  • Threads in the liquid - windy weather

Technical details

  • Material: brushed stainless steel, borosilicate glass
  • Dimensions: approx. 155 mm high, Ø 44 mm
  • Weight: approx. 270 g

From it, he developed this aesthetic exceptionally successful meteorological instrument for predicting heavy weather and storms. For optimal use, keep the storm glass in a cool room, on board or in your home.
