## Summary description

TFA Dostmann Hourglass set (model 18.6012.30) — a collection of glass sand timers available in blue, green, natural, pink, violet and yellow. Each hourglass is made of glass and suited for general household use, timing short activities, games, cooking or educational tasks. Compact, gender-neutral design with clear visual sand flow.

## Long description

This set of six glass hourglasses by TFA Dostmann provides a simple, visual way to measure short time intervals around the home, classroom or office. Each timer has a coloured silicone protective cap and fine glass sand that runs smoothly to indicate elapsed time. The compact, neutral design and visible printed numbers make the set useful for everyday tasks such as brushing teeth, baking, board games or timed school activities.
Advantages
The six-piece set covers a wide range of short durations so you can pick the appropriate timer for different activities. Silicone caps add stability and protect the glass, while the fine sand ensures even flow with a tolerance of up to ±10%. The transparent glass bodies and clear printed numbers make it easy to see remaining time at a glance.
Suitable for
Timing teeth brushing or short bathroom routines
Kitchen tasks such as baking or steeping
Board games and timed play
Classroom exercises and nursery activities to give children a visual sense of time
Short work or study intervals and breaks
When it may not be suitable
This hourglass set is intended for short, informal timing tasks and is not designed for precise scientific measurements or long-duration timing beyond 30 minutes. Glass construction makes the timers delicate; they are not suitable for rough handling or environments where they may be knocked over frequently.
Key specifications
Material: glass body with silicone protective caps
Filling: fine glass sand
Set size: 6 hourglasses in different colours
Running times: 1 min (grey) / 3 min (natural) / 5 min (violet) / 10 min (blue) / 15 min (pink) / 30 min (green)
Timing tolerance: approximately ±10%
How to use
Place the chosen hourglass on a stable, flat surface and invert it to start timing. Watch the sand flow from the top chamber to the bottom; the printed number indicates the intended duration. After the sand has finished running, return the hourglass to its original position to reset. Use the silicone caps for extra grip and to reduce the risk of slipping on smooth surfaces.
What to consider before purchase
Intended use: suitable for short, informal timing but not for precision timing
Fragility: glass construction requires careful handling
Timing tolerance: allow for up to ±10% deviation from nominal times
Usage recommendations
Use the shorter timers for quick routines (1–5 minutes), the medium timers for common tasks such as brushing teeth or baking preparation (3–15 minutes), and the 30-minute timer for longer study or activity periods. Keep timers on a flat surface and avoid dropping or exposing them to strong impacts.
