is a bit of instability (as in the glass may be bowed upward slightly, or the
plinth bowed down slightly).
Vibration then takes over as any unbalanced friction will cause a movement, or
in this case, rotation.
There used to be a table top football game that used this for play. The people
would arrange their teams, then the vibrator would be turned on - the teams then
moved across the field for a given amount of time.
Hm. Still be sold:

The Egyptians were rather clever with toys and simple mechanical geegaws.
This was designed to rotate, like cricketjeff's toys. Also the amount of
vibration modern traffic transmits through ancient buildings I can easily
feel through my feet. Even some modern buildings with internal parking
can be disturbing to one who lives in an earthquake prone area.
