24" Galileo Glass Thermometer — 11 Floats, Tall Scientific Display
This striking 24-inch Galileo glass thermometer turns the laws of physics into visual poetry. Eleven vividly colored glass floats rise and sink inside the crystal-clear column, each one revealing the temperature through the elegant interplay of density and buoyancy—a principle explored by Galileo’s circle centuries ago. The tall, sculptural form features a graceful teardrop finial and a wide, stable foot, making it a standout piece of scientific décor. Both decorative and educational, it invites viewers to watch the atmosphere express itself in floating color. Whether displayed on a bookshelf, office credenza, or curiosity cabinet, it adds charm, intelligence, and a touch of whimsy.
Condition
Excellent, with no damage noted. Glass is clear, floats move smoothly, and colors remain bright.
Dimensions
24" height × 4.25" diameter.
Campbell’s soup can shown for scale.
