This silver-finished piece is a collectable because of its combined historical and practical value. Ship's hourglasses were calibrated to the half hours of the ship's watch. To appreciate the important symbolism of the hourglass, Renaissance artists painted still lifes filled with symbolism and morals. They very often depict hourglasses. This classy piece makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys history, or for anyone who needs a little help staying on time!
