| Dimensions: 17.25 inches tall, 2.0 inches in diameter, base is 3.25 inches in diameter.

This solid glass thermometer contains hand-blown multi-colored glass spheres featuring GOLD PLATED MEDALLIONS. This functional and attractive accessory is based on the physicist Galileo Galilei’s (1564-1642) discovery that the density of fluid expands and contracts depending on temperature. The lowest floating sphere in the upper group indicates the current temperature. As the temperature decreases, spheres will rise and as the temperature increases, spheres will fall.
