A tea timer with three hourglasses with green, white, and red sand, in a metal frame with an inscription on top reading: perfect tea timer

This hourglass tea timer was for sale (and also used when serving tea) at the Random Tea Room in Philadelphia. I thought it was cute and fun, although it had the disadvantage that it did not make any sound, so it was possible to overlook the point when the proper amount of time had elapsed.
