Antique hourglass in the shape of a châtelain with a mug of beer in his hand. Hourglasses were used, for example, in cooking eggs. There are still a few readable numbers on the hourglass, some of which is faded. This can possibly be reapplied. The numbers stand for minutes, so they used to be able to determine how long an egg was boiled.
Dimensions:
8.5 cm high x 5.4 cm wide x 5 cm deep.
