Chicosa Blue 12 in. Hourglass

To maintain the clarity of the glass and the vibrancy of the blue sand, we recommend dusting the piece regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Following our professional care advice for decorative accents, you should avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that could scratch the glass or damage the contemporary finish.

This hourglass is designed primarily as a decorative accent to add contemporary visual interest to your home or office. While it features flowing sand, it is categorized as a transitional sculpture rather than a precision timekeeping device, making it a perfect choice for those looking to add a sense of timeless style to their décor.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this item. This typically involves a simple setup to safely secure the glass vessel within its frame. We recommend handling the glass carefully during this process to ensure the piece is properly balanced and stable before placing it on your shelf or desk.

Standing at 12 inches tall with a compact 4-inch square footprint, this piece is ideally scaled for narrow surfaces. It is a sophisticated choice for executive desks, bookshelves, or mantels. The vibrant blue sand provides a focal point that works exceptionally well when paired with neutral or coastal-inspired color palettes.

While this is a sealed decorative item, sand-based accents can sometimes be sensitive to moisture if not kept in a stable environment. For the most consistent sand flow and to prevent clumping, we recommend placing this hourglass in a climate-controlled indoor space. This ensures the decorative sand remains dry and flows smoothly for the best visual effect.

This item features a 4-inch deep base designed for stability on flat, level surfaces. However, as a glass sculpture, it is best suited for placement on steady furniture like a sofa table or a sturdy bookcase. If you are styling it in a high-traffic area, placing it toward the back of a shelf can help protect it from being accidentally tipped.
