Esschert Design TH31 Thunder/Weather Glass Barometer with Cast Iron Filigree Holder and Overflow Pan, Antique Brown

Looks great and works perfectly

Wife and I saw one of these while on vacation in the Caribbean. The inn keepers have it hanging on the wall near the outdoor dining area. I was fascinated by it. It’s beautiful, functional, with old world charm. Shortly after we got home I started searching online for it, lo and behold here it is on Amazon. I ordered it immediately. It just arrived today and we are so pleased. It is exactly like the one we saw on vacation! The cast iron is heavy. Well made. The glass is gorgeous and very delicate — almost weightless in your hand. We have it hanging on our back patio. Looking forward to seeing it react to the changing weather here in the SC Lowcountry.Edit: a followup edit after owning this for several months. We still love it and it’s a great conversation piece on our screened-in porch. It’s beautiful. I do have a complaint but I have a feeling this is user error. It seems to react more to temperature swings than it does barometric pressure. For example, in the morning the fluid will be low, but by the afternoon it will rise and spill out. This occurs every day, regardless of rain, to the extent that after a few days it is practically empty and I need to add more water. So, I am thinking, maybe this shouldn’t be located outdoors? Maybe it should be inside where the temperature is fairly constant?

Reviewing strictly on aesthetic at this point - this was a must buy because of my atypical migraines. Hoping it works but it looks beautiful in my home.

I love this not only does it show you the weather is about to change it looks great on any wall…

This is a beautiful, heavy, yet delicate (glass), piece of useable art! It has a diagram on the box that shows 3 conditions of weather, sunny, fair, stormy. I added water to simulate the current weather. It was over cast and expected to rain later that day. I filled such that the water in the spout was just above the water in the base of the glass. Sure enough! About 4 hours later, the water had risen a couple inches higher in the tube! And it did rain. It's fun to predict the weather and my usable art is very accurate!

With this winter storm moving across the nation, I waited to write the review to make sure it really worked—and it did!! As the front moved in, the water rose up the spout. It was easy to install and adequately described.

Great love it

When I first set it up, I had a large void of air in the globe itself and it worked more like a thermometer than a barometer, the water would rise and fall with the temperature, regardless of atmospheric pressure.After I completely filled it, it hasn't budged, but neither has the pressure according to the weather apps. I'm not expecting precision, just a quick reference of the day's pressure, which it seems to be doing.The cast iron holder is nice and sturdy.
