What Makes It Uncommon

Cool, Calm and Collected

Calming as the sky on a long winter's night, this sand window offers the weary eye an ever-changing view. Multicolored sand and water are sealed in a wooden frame, with the northern lights in a midnight sky printed behind them. Rotate the glass, and enjoy the sight of the sand swirling and shifting into clouds and landscapes, glaciers and mountains of intricate lines and patterns. The included rear mounting hardware allows you to rotate the frame a full 360 degrees. Created by Klaus Bosch and handmade in Austria, this inventive artwork will bring a calming, natural presence and a sense of wonder to your office or home.

Would definitely recommend

This is a fantastic gift. The dual medium of sand and water is truly unique, and the infinite landscape variations are beautiful.I could watch the creation process all day.


Beautiful and interactive

Wall mounted and we're able to flip it when we pass by


I've been talking about this for years!

100% recommend for any space and any person!! The colors are amazing, the flow was perfect once I adjusted the air level, and I spent probably 30 minutes just sitting and watching the magic! We unfortunately, 100% our fault, let it drop and shatter right before mounting to the wall.. BUT, we're ordering a new one first thing tomorrow since it's so absolutely perfect!


I have bought a second one, absolutely beautiful

I love and so does the family, even the kids are transfixed.


would give this as a gift again and again and again

I gave this to my provider clients for their office and they loved it.


I'm buying a similar style in a few more years

It's a great conversation starter.


I can't say enough good things!!!

This is an amazing product! It's beautiful and it flows good. It hangs on the wall and turns around. Good value for the price. Buy this!!


See the Northern Lights everyday a different way.

Uncommon Goods provides exactly what an internet shopper wants. Product videos , plenty of pictures and information and customer service to insure satisfaction. This item arrived timely and impressibly packaged. It is a beautiful piece of art. I followed directions, adjusted the air easily a couple different times to get the sand falling the way I like it. I turn it often. I especially liked the idea of being able to spin it on a wall, but I'm not going to hang it. I wish it also had a stand because I enjoy seeing it while sitting in my favorite chair or room.


i would buy it again and again if if helped

My daughter would like to go to Alaska, see the Northern Lights. She's getting married in Dec. and even if just for a minute, I think this takes her mind off of things that cause her anxiety. Her fiance laughs because she turns and looks at this daily. Thank you for offering a wonderful piece of art.


A daily routine, but for the wrong reasons...

This was a gift. It is very pretty and house visitors are immediately drawn to it. However, the upkeep on this product is RIDICULOUS, especially if you live in a climate with low humidity. We've had this product for less then a year and a lot of water has slowly evaporated. It is quite deceptive how much water is in this frame. Over the course of six months, over one cup (approx. 250 mL) has been lost. They provide a 3 mL syringe; however, if you do the math... everyday I would need to add water. If you don't, you have the unfortunate experience of spending the better part of an entire day adding 3 mL of water at time. Inserting the syringe that many times, the rubber seal is bound to deteriorate and it shows. Overall: great, attractive gift but poor quality and design.

Hey, does this product come with necessary equipment to be mounted on a wall?

Verified reply from Allison

Yes! The included rear mounting hardware allows you to rotate the frame a full 360 degrees.


How much time does it take for the picture to complete? Thank you

Verified reply from Alice

It totally depends on how much air you choose to inject into the picture. The air bubbles are what keep the sand at the top, and so if there is less air and more space between the air bubbles, it would fall in larger streams and thus finish in a few minutes. With more air and less space between bubbles, it would fall in delicate trails, in which case it may take hours to complete.


Where does the sand come from? Is it in mined from the ocean floor?

Verified reply from Valerie

The sand is manufactured. In most cases, they grind minerals to a specific grade. Real sand is inconsistently sized and doesn't work well in a sand picture.
