The Ichendorf Times hourglass is a small reminder of the meaning of time – its flowing, yet stopping power. This beautifully crafted, hand-blown glass object combines traditional timekeeping with modern design. Fine sand gently flows through a narrow glass bridge, flowing steadily for five minutes.

Ichendorf's high-quality glassware is made from lightweight, durable and dishwasher-safe borosilicate glass, known for its excellent heat and chemical resistance. The same type of glass is also used in laboratory environments, as it withstands sudden temperature changes and even heavy abrasion. Ichendorf glasses are a durable choice for everyday use.

Material: Borosilicate glass
Dimensions: Diameter 3.8 cm, height 16 cm
Color: Dark green, clear
Additional information: The hourglass contains sand for 5 minutes. Since the product is handmade, there may be slight differences in dimensions.

Ichendorf Milano - Design for table setting

It was the early 1900s when Ichendorf Milano was founded in the German village of Quadrath-Ichendorf near Cologne. The era featured shaped glassware that sought to meet the desires of the most sophisticated customers. Decorative glassware was in high demand until the 1950s, when people began to prefer simpler, cleaner shapes.

A major change in style also affected Ichendorf as a company: it had to start designing more modern and newer glass creations. In 1990, Ichendorf relocated its operations to Milan, where it still collaborates extensively with international designers and produces top-quality design objects.

Over its more than 100-year history, Ichendorf has developed extensive craftsmanship in glass. The company has a strong understanding of the best materials and the longevity of its objects. Ichendorf Milano constantly strives to combine tradition and innovation, and to bring vibrant beauty to homes around the world. The company's delicate, elegant, durable and delightful products are suitable not only for celebrations, but also for everyday use.
