******************************************

Rare white glass wall-mounted BAROMETER in baluster shape decorated with three strips of pinched tabs, two on the sides and another on the tubular spillway above which a stylized bird is placed.
Height: 32.3 cm.
FRANCE, 18th century. Two very small accidents with pinched motifs

Bibliography: "Verrerie d'usage et de prestige" by Jacqueline Bellanger
Operation: partially fill the reserve by immersion so that the level in the tube is approximately halfway up and position the barometer vertically. The atmospheric pressure will act on the level in the tube, therefore on the level of the reserve, the variations of which will indicate changes in ambient atmospheric pressure.
