    <noun.artifact>


    Hourglass \Hour"glass`\, n.
    An instrument for measuring time, especially the interval of
    an hour. It consists of a glass vessel having two
    compartments, from the uppermost of which a quantity of sand,
    water, or mercury occupies an hour in running through a small
    aperture unto the lower.

    Note: A similar instrument measuring any other interval of
    time takes its name from the interval measured; as, a
    {half-hour glass}, a {half-minute glass}. A
    {three-minute glass} is sometimes called an egg-glass,
    from being used to time the boiling of eggs.

    1. Dukakis and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton _ whose lengthy Democratic keynote speech drew derisive comments _ gave Kean a large hourglass.
    2. Her hourglass jacket was very long this time, often over a fluid, pleated voile skirt.
