THE CLOSEST YOU’LL GET TO A 4D OBJECT IN OUR UNIVERSE
A Klein Bottle© is a 4-dimensional shape that has neither an inside nor outside.
Like a Möbius strip, if you trace a path along its surface, you will travel on both sides of the surface before returning to the starting point.
In the mathematical field of topology, it is a 3D immersion of a closed, one-sided, non-orientable, boundary-free manifold.
A true Klein Bottle does not intersect itself, so it can only fully exist in 4 dimensions. But in the same way a 2D shadow is cast by a 3D object, this can be considered the 3D “shadow” of a 4D Klein Bottle—the closest we can get in our universe.
A perfect gift for a math or science enthusiast. Handblown with laboratory-grade borosilicate glass.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic experience! Item is of high quality and very well made. Highly recommended!
I'm a return buyer! My first purchase went over so well as a gift for my nephew, that I a made more!
He's obsessed with math & cool stuff that no one else has, so this will be a winner for sure! Can't wait to give it to him. Came well packaged and arrived quickly.

Great science gift for the person who has everything. I loved the size + quality of it, and the high quality shipping.
Amazing gift, great quality, and really cute packaging! My girlfriend was so happy when I gave it to her. Also, it's such a cool piece.
Excellent in any dimensional space
