An hour glass - the shape of which is the origin of the phrase hour-glass figure. An egg-timer is a three minute version. Generally the "powder" is sand.

An egg timer if you get down to basics in the UK. But ir's also known as a hour glass. The powder is usually sand hence the sands of time.
Or think of the shape of the container then imagine it applied to a woman. Hour glass figure.

its based on an hourglass. the size and shape determine how much sand it holds.
Thet make little ones that are about 3 minute times for egg timers.
