Product description
Galileo Thermometers are magnificent creations that make Galileo's 400 year old principle of relative density a functional reality. An accurate indoor thermometer encased in brilliant glass, the Galileo is the point at which art meets science. Galileos add sparkle and focus to any setting: Galileos are precisely manufactured. Each of the liquid-filled floats weighs grams more than the one above it in the cylinder to ensure a stately and orderly procession of ups and downs as the temperature changes. To accomplish this balancing, the tags on which the temperature is marked are attached by hand. The fluid in the floats and the cylinder has to be exactly the same density for the thermometer to function properly. The fluid is non-toxic and non-hazardous, an inert oil/hydrocarbon mixture like mineral oil: Galileos are carefully packaged. The cylinder walls are laboratory grade glass, so sturdiness isn't an issue. A four-color cardboard box sleeve surrounds a form-fitted foam case that virtually guarantees safe arrival: This fascinating, functional instrument is the point at which science meets art. Four hundred years ago Galileo discovered that specifically weighted floating bubbles would predictable rise or sink in a liquid as the temperature of that liquid is changed. These decorative glass reproductions of Galileo's discovery have glass floats precisely weighted 6 gram increments suspended in a clear, environmentally safe, non-toxic liquid. Simply read the tag on the lowest floating bubble to read the temperature: The 14 inch measures every 4 degrees from 64 F to 80 F and is accurate to within 2 degrees with five floats.
- SCIENCE MEETS ART: The Galileo Thermometer is an example of utilizing scientific principle to create a useful artistic piece for day-to-day use. Designed with different colored spheres of varying densities, the thermometer is able to tell the temperature accurately.
- EXCELLENT INDOOR THERMOMETER: This Galileo Thermometer from Lily's Home makes the ideal indoor thermometer. Featuring five multi-colored spheres with gold plated tags. This thermometer works for temperatures from 64ºF to 80ºF and goes up in 4º increments.
- SAFE AND NON-TOXIC COMPONENTS: Each Galileo Thermometer from Lily's Home is made of hand-blown glass and filled with a fluid in both the cylinder and the floats that is non-toxic, non-hazardous and absolute environmentally safe. It consists of an inert oil-hydrocarbon mixture similar to mineral oil. The cylinder walls material is laboratory grade glass that ensures absolute sturdiness.

User questions & answers
Question: | Most reviewers chose the color slate or stone. Are the colors depicted in the pictures on line accurate |
Answer: | The colors depicted in the pictures are 100% accurate. Please note that the burl and travertine models just recently added to this line, therefore there are not many reviews of these models. |
Question: | Can this clock withstand the Az. Heat |
Answer: | Unfortunately, mine never worked. The sellers were more than helpful by refunding my money being as though it was out of stock and could not be exchanged. It's a really nice quality clock. Looks like authentic stone. I believe it could withstand the heat but not in direct sunlight. Hot dry air is one thing, but that AZ sun is something else. I hope this was helpful. |
Question: | Is this clock waterproof, and will it work in freezing temperatures? I want to hang it on my fence |
Answer: | We have it hanging on our deck railing - we've had lots of rain recently, but only 3 days of below freezing temps at night. However it's still running great - can't guarantee it will thru the rest of the winter (we are in PA) but so far so good. It is very attractive, we love it. |
Question: | what is the diameter of the clock face |
Answer: | Whole clock 13”. The clock face 9.5”. It keeps good time, not so good on the temperature. |
Product description
Galileo Thermometers are magnificent creations that make Galileo's 400-year-old principle of relative density a functional reality. Lily's Home has created an accurate indoor thermometer encased in brilliant glass. Galileo Thermometers are precisely manufactured to ensure precise temperature readings. As the temperature of the air outside changes, so does the temperature of the liquid surrounding the bubbles. As the temperature of the liquid changes, it either expands or contracts, thereby changing its density. So, at any given density, some of the bubbles will float and others will sink. The bubble that sinks the most indicates the current temperature. Each of the liquid-filled floats weighs exactly .006 grams more than the one above it in the cylinder to provide a stately and orderly procession of ups and downs as the temperature changes. Reading the Galileo Thermometer is easy. Simply read the tag on the lowest floating bubble to read the temperature - Each tag is marked in Fahrenheit on both sides of the tag. The fluid in the floats and the cylinder has to be the same density as the thermometer to function correctly. The fluid is non-toxic and non-hazardous, an inert oil-hydrocarbon mixture like mineral oil. The cylinder walls are laboratory grade glass, so sturdiness isn't an issue. This fascinating, functional instrument is the point at which science meets art.

User questions & answers
Question: | There was no paperwork with my thermometer. How does it work? How do I tell what the temperature is |
Answer: | Thank you for your purchase. The instructions should be on the box. If you do not have it, you read the markings that are on the lowest sphere of the group on top. This is the one that tells you the temperature. |
Question: | What altitude works best |
Answer: | I would think it would adjust to wherever it was placed. I bought mine when I was at sea level and now I've moved to a higher altitude. Works just fine. |
Question: | What happens if its 63F or 81F within the room it's in |
Answer: | If it is 63F it will show as 64F and if it is 81F it will show as 80F |
Question: | where is this made |
Answer: | we can not say with certainty, because our main supplier for this position is in the US, but it is likely that they are doing it in China. |
Question: | My Galileo thermometer fell over and broke. I am interested in getting a replacement for just this piece of the set. Which one will fit with the set |
Answer: | The Galileo website is very helpful when dealing with replacements. |
Question: | How do you get the tube into the barometer? I can only get it in part way before it gets stuck |
Answer: | It is best to wet the outer tube to reduce the friction. Next, push the tube in and out of the spout making small progress each time. Eventually it will make its way into the vessel but it does take some time and patience. I hope this helps. |
Question: | The storm glass will not fit into the cut out hole in the board. The hole is too small for the storm glass. Please advise. Thank you |
Answer: | Mine was snug too when I first got it and there are times when it isn't. My guess is there was too much humidity there is in the air. You can give it a couple days and see if it shrinks down or try and take some sand paper and open the cut out a little. |
Question: | How deep is the wooden base? I am thinking about putting this on a ledge that is only 4" deep and am not sure if it will fit |
Answer: | The base measures 10.5 in by 4.75 in. Also the countersinks for the thermometer and barometer are 3/16in deep. |

User questions & answers
Question: | how to shut the alarm off? Neither of the posted work...no bell between the hour/min...and I've held the mode button until my finger went to sleep |
Answer: | The temp sensor is at the rear of the device about 1 inch from the mounting surface. There should be very little heat transfer thru the window and the mounting, |
Question: | Can this be used as an alarm clock to wake you up in the morning |
Answer: | It's intended to be mounted outside a window so you can see what the outside temperature is. But it's a thermometer, so it will give you the temperature wherever you put it (although probably not underwater). |
Question: | can i buy remote sensor only |
Answer: | I bought this thermometer in Oct 2012, and have had to change the battery twice in nearly 5 years. I am impressed at how well this has stood up to the Houston heat and humidity. |
Question: | where does the sensor go? Outsided |
Answer: | I truly don't know, as mine is in a North facing window. I do know that I really like it a lot. It is so easy to read and quite accurate. Can't hurt to try it in an east facing window though. |
Product description
Watch the seasons change in this entrancing glass ornament. The FitzRoy's Storm Glass from Lily's Home is a mysterious phenomenon, utilized by meteorologist Admiral Robert FitzRoy as he sailed in the 18th century, most notably as captain of the HMS Beagle during Charles Darwin's famous voyage. A special combination of liquids inside the glass tube is able to predict weather changes with the appearance of streaks, cloudiness, flakes and crystals. According to FitzRoy’s findings, this glass barometer forecasts weather based on changes in the formation of crystals inside the glass. Clear liquid predicts bright and clear weather. Cloudy liquid indicates cloudy weather, perhaps with precipitation. Small dots in the liquid indicates humid or foggy weather. Cloudy glass with small stars indicates thunderstorms. Small stars in the liquid indicates sunny winter days. Large flakes throughout the liquid means you can expect snow. Crystals at the bottom indicate frost. Threads near the top indicate windy weather. The glass tube measures 5.5", with an overall height of 7" when the cherry finished wood frame is considered. You can use this Storm Glass indoors or out. Note 1: Since this storm glass is just an indication of weather condition it may not be as accurate as Barometer or Actual Meteorological Forecast. Note 2: The Storm Glass may need one or two weeks for the crystal to stabilize and adapt to the environment. If you want to see the test result, it can be placed in the refrigerator and frozen for 30 minutes to 1 hour, and observe the effects. The FitzRoy's Storm Glass makes an elegant and unique gift for any student, Dad, or business person. It would look amazing on a desk or shelf and is sure to get people talking and interested!

Answer: | |
Question: | Can you hang it outside |
Answer: | |
Question: | Does it need batteries |
Answer: | |
Question: | Can I get calibration certificate |
Answer: | Not that I know of. Besides, to get the same readings as reported by the local airport or National Weather Service, you have to adjust it to compensate for your precise altitude above Mean Sea Level. You do this by adjusting the calibration screw on the back to match what the nearest weather station barometric pressure, which is already adjusted to the local altitude. Altimeters are actually barometers. The higher you go the lower the pressure. So if you don’t adjust the lower pressure to show what the barometer would read if you were at sea level, the readings would be meaningless as far as “lows” and “highs” are concerned. The adjustment is delicate so you need to tweak it back and forth over a period of time until it consistently matches up with what your local NWS station reports. |

Product description
This beautiful conversation piece combines two ancient technologies - the Admiral Fitzroy Storm Glass and the Galileo Thermometer. The Admiral Fitzroy Storm Glass: How this storm glass really works is a mystery, but it is believed that electromagnetic changes in weather patterns activate crystals inside (sealed-glass chamber fills with crystals when air pressure decreases). Famed meteorologist Admiral Fitzroy used a storm glass on a historic voyage (1831-1836) with Charles Darwin A storm glass works on the premise that temperature and pressure affect solubility, sometimes resulting in clear liquid; other times causing precipitants to form. However, the method by which this works is not fully understood. Although it is well-established that temperature affects solubility, some studies have simultaneously observed several different storm glasses forming similar crystal patterns at different temperatures. In addition, sealed glasses are not exposed to atmospheric pressure changes and do not react to the pressure variations associated with weather systems. The Galileo Thermometer: The Galileo thermometer consists of a sealed glass tube that is filled with water and several floating bubbles. The bubbles are glass spheres filled with a colored liquid mixture. Attached to each bubble is a little metal tag that indicates a temperature. These metal tags are calibrated counterweights. The weight of each tag is slightly different from the others. Since the bubbles are all hand-blown glass, they aren't exactly the same size and shape. The bubbles are calibrated by adding a certain amount of fluid to them so that they have the exact same density. So, after the weighted tags are attached to the bubbles, each differs very slightly in density (the ratio of mass to volume) from the other bubbles, and the density of all of them is very close to the density of the surrounding water. Galileo thermometer is showing temperatures of 64 to 80 degrees.
- EXCELLENT INDOOR WEATHER-STATION: The Galileo Thermometer is a part of the Analog Weather Station from Lily's Home and is an example of utilizing scientific principle to create a useful artistic piece for day-to-day use. Featuring five multi-colored spheres with gold plated tags. This thermometer works best indoors and for temperatures from 64ºF to 80ºF, going up in 4º increments.
- HELPS PREDICTS THE WEATHER: The Lily's Home FitzRoy's Storm Glass works to predict weather patterns 1-2 days in advance, helping you manage your days so you can plan ahead. It provides a weather indication without depending on any external methods. It can predict changing weather conditions such as sunny, cloudy, fog, storms, snow, and more!

User questions & answers
Question: | how to remover the storm glass to reset it |
Answer: | You don’t have to remove the storm glass all you have to do to reset it is to evenly heat the glass tube with a blow drier tilt it on its side and mix the crystals back into the liquid just don’t over heat the glass tube. If you remove it from the wooden frame you might damage the wooden frame or break the storm glass. Hope this helps |
Question: | what are the dimensions |
Answer: | This thermometer is 8 in high 4 1/2 in wide and about 3 in deep nice small desktop station |
Question: | Would this still work if it was kept below ground level? Thinking of getting one for my desk where I work from home, but I'm in the basement |
Answer: | The thermometer would work just fine, however the storm glass may not work. |
Question: | How can I get mine to work |
Answer: | You know, when you get a good answer to your question let me know. According to directions, you can dissolve the crystals with a hair blower. Yes, the crystals will dissolve. However, the crystals reform. The temp. balls work well. This item sits on top of my fireplace. This item is nice but not functional for what I purchased for. :( |

Product description
This attractive set features a Galileo thermometer, which reads 64-80 degrees F. When the temperature rises, the liquid inside the glass tube becomes less dense and the liquid-filled bulbs sink. When the temperature cools, the process is reversed and the bulbs rise from the bottom. -- Variations in barometric pressure associated with weather systems are immediately revealed by the water level in the spout of the glass barometer globe printed with a frosted world map. A low level of liquid in the spout indicates high-pressure and fair weather can be expected. A high water level is associated with bad weather. -- In cases of severe weather and major storms, the water may even run out of the spout. Both the thermometer and the globe are mounted on a sturdy wooden base.
- Cylindrical thermometer and barometer set; inspired by Galileo’s instruments
- Interprets temp and weather based on principles of buoyancy and air pressure
- Colorful, liquid filled spheres descend and ascend with atmospheric changes
- Barometer features the world globe etched in the glass
- Mounted on a wood base; approximately 8 inches long and 8 inches high
User questions & answers
Question: | How many spheres are in the tube and what is the temperature range of the spheres |
Answer: | There are 5 bulbs in the thermometer with the degrees of 80, 76, 72, 68 and 64. The temperature is determined by the lowest floating bulb in the thermometer except for when all the bulbs sink, the temperature is over the highest bulb. |
Question: | How full should I fill the water in the globe? (I lost my instructions |
Answer: | Thank You! I have had this for several years now and the globe's water had evaporated. I too, lost the instructions. Use distilled water to prevent any hard water build up. I put the globe on its side with the glass tube upright sitting on a sponge. That way, the end bottom was lifted an 1/2 inch or so, and fed the the syringe tube to the bottom, that way, the air escaped and it was easy to fill. Took about 4 syringe fillings. |
Question: | how do you read the barametric pressure |
Answer: | the way I understand it, the higher the water goes up the side, the lower the pressure and more chance of a storm... |
Question: | Is this plastic or glass? The first and last picture makes it look beautiful, but the middle pictures looks plastic and dingy. Thanks |
Answer: | Glass. My husband always wanted one and we finally got it this year. It stays nice and clear and we watch it on a daily basis...quite fun ! We actually have two ...colored the water green in one and red in the other. Its fun to have one in different rooms ! |

Glass Galileo Thermometer with Globe Storm Glass
For hundreds of years, the Galileo Thermometer with Glass Barometer have offered function and timeless beauty. To this day, they remain a distinctive decorative accent for any home or office.
Galileo Thermometer
A large glass tube is filled with clear liquid. Floating inside the tube are five small glass bulbs. The bulbs are calibrated by filling them with precise amounts of colored liquid so that they have a specific density relative to the clear liquid in the main tube (some bulbs are calibrated to be higher in density and some are lower). Finally, metal tags that serve as counter weights are hung from each bulb. A temperature is engraved on each tag.
When temperature rises, the liquid inside the glass thermometer tube becomes less dense and the liquid-filled bulbs will sink. When the temperature drops, the liquid inside the tube becomes denser and the liquid-filled bulbs will float. Since the bulbs are different density, some will sink or float more than others.
Storm Glass Barometer
Atmospheric pressure exerts force down the barometer’s glass spout, affecting the liquid level inside the barometer’s globe.
Reading a Galileo Thermometer and Storm Glass Barometer is Part of the Fun!
It's not just a decorative thermometer, it actually works! Each bulb inside the Galileo Thermometer represents a temperature, as indicated by the metal hang tags beneath each bulb.
The temperature is determined by the lowest floating bulb in the thermometer.
When a bulb is seen floating in the middle of the tube, the temperature reading is between that bulb and the lowest floating bulb at the top of the tube.
If all the bulbs float to the top, the temperature is less than the lowest floating bulb.
If all the bulbs sink, the temperature is above the highest bulb.
Product description
This wall clock will bring you back to a simpler time. The wooden wicker weave will remind you of Grandma’s rocking chair and good times spent at her home whenever you look at it. The clock goes perfectly in a cottage, chalet, or lodge because it reflects the natural world. However, it will look just as good in your living room, kitchen, or dining room. And if you want to put it outside, go ahead! This 12.5-inch clock is durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Rain, snow, or sun, this clock can handle whatever the elements throw at it. It’s ready to hang on your balcony, patio, or veranda. You only need a single nail or screw to install the clock — no complicated hardware required. The clock is battery operated and only needs a single AA battery (not included) to run. Relying on quartz movement, the clock provides accurate and precise timekeeping to save you from being late. Quartz movement clocks use batteries to send an electric signal through a small piece of quartz crystal. The signal causes the quartz to send out vibrations, which causes oscillation to drive the motor of the clock and send the second hand ticking. This clock makes a great gift for friends and loved ones. The large numbers provide high visibility, no matter where you are in the room. While it does have a rustic style and country flair, the clock looks great with minimalistic and modern design aesthetics too. Lily Home creates a wide array of products for home and garden to make sure your family has everything they need. Purchase today!
- wicker frame
- COUNTRY HOME DECOR: This charming wall clock will make your home a little cozier. The frame around the clock looks like it is woven wicker, reminding you of Grandma’s wicker rocking chair. The country-inspired design is fun, nostalgic, and rustic, perfectly representing farmhouse style. Our wicker clock will look great hanging up inside your living room, kitchen, patio, or cabin.
- EASY TO READ: A clock should be more than just a piece of wall decor — you should be able to use it too! Many wall clocks, however, are difficult to read from across the room. We designed our clock with large, black Arabic numerals that can be seen from afar. Stay in your seat without having to pull out your phone or glasses to check the time.
- ALL-WEATHER DURABILITY: Not every piece of home decor can be placed indoors or outdoors. Our clock, however, is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, making it perfect for any room that is inside or outside your home, including your porch. The wood-weave details will stand up to cold snow storms and hot sunny days for years to come.
- SIMPLE INSTALLATION: Hanging wall decor can be a little tricky. There’s nothing worse than hearing something fall off the wall moments after you have hung it up. Put those fears to rest with this wall clock. It needs only 1 nail or screw to be secured to an indoor or outdoor wall. And it’s powered by a single AA battery, making it easy to maintain.
- GREAT HOUSEWARMING GIFT: Looking for a gift for your new neighbors or for a wedding? It can be difficult to pick out a present sometimes, but this rustic wall clock is a no-brainer! It looks great in any room and is extremely easy to install. With quartz movement, the clock has accurate and precise timekeeping. Friends and loved ones will love it!
