Hightide Hourglass (M) Clear
I really thought the sand is black, that's why I bought it. The photos are confusing, this needs to be corrected.

Hightide Hourglass (M) Amber
Lovely little object. I got the turquoise colour and it's very pretty! I use it to block out time to journal.

Hightide Hourglass (M) Amber
A lovely small “hour glass”, a warm mid-green with white "sand" which runs smoothly - lasts approximately 5 minutes (I timed it at 4mins 55 seconds) - hopefully a perfect gift for that person who is very hard to buy for. Looks sleek and does actually have a purpose - I’m hoping that it will be used in the kitchen for timing things that need 5 minutes to cook! It will look very smart on a kitchen work surface and, as I said, it is functional. I like it - hopefully the recipient will too!
