Green Sand Hourglass with Metal Frame - Small 198mm | Online8 New Zealand
A glass hourglass filled with soft green sand, suspended between two clear glass plates on four slim polished metal posts. The architectural frame lifts the glass clear of the surface so light passes right through it, and the green sand gives a cooler, more considered look than the usual amber. At 198mm tall on a 78mm square footprint it suits a desk, console or shelf.
Why It Stands Apart
- Architectural Frame: Four slim metal posts between clear glass plates — a structured, gallery-like setting rather than a plain resting form.
- Soft Green Sand: A cool, muted green that reads as deliberate against the clear glass and polished metal.
- Lifted Off The Surface: The framed base raises the glass so light passes beneath it, which gives the piece more visual lightness than its size suggests.
- Glass-Dominant Build: 70% glass with metal used only for the posts and finials, keeping the emphasis on transparency.
- Desk-Friendly Scale: At 198mm on a 78mm square base, it fits a working desk or a shelf between books.
- Pairs With The Large: The matching 250mm version sits alongside it for a two-height grouping.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it run?
This piece is sold as a decorative object rather than a calibrated timer, so we don't quote a run time. Please call the showroom if you need an exact duration before ordering.
What's the difference between the two sizes?
This is the small at 198mm tall on a 78mm square base. The large stands 250mm on a 100mm base. Both use the same green sand, clear glass and metal frame.
Can it be turned over in the frame?
The frame is designed to be inverted as a whole — lift and turn the piece rather than trying to rotate the glass within the posts.
How do I care for it?
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Wipe the glass with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid abrasive cleaners on the polished metal posts.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes, we ship nationwide. Shipping options are available at checkout.
