Initially, it was assumed that a snow globe was created specifically to replace the glass paperweight but eventually, the globes set themselves apart as festive ornaments with wonderful depictions of faraway lands. With the glass dome encasing miniatures in a snowy atmosphere floating in liquid, the snow globes symbolized a tiny world suspended in time between stillness and movement. The 1920s brought the snow globe to America where it instantly became a collector’s item. In 1927, Joseph Garaja applied for a patent in the US and created a new underwater assembly line wherein the globes would be completely filled with water. This process was time and cost-efficient and ended up making the snow globes more accessible. The oldest known description of a snow globe–like object comes from an 1880 U.S. Commissioners report on the 1878 Paris Universal Exposition, where a local glassware company showcased a group of “paper weights of hollow balls filled with water, containing a man with an umbrella.” The objects also contained white powder that fell “in imitation of a snow storm” when turned upside down. Such glass-domed paperweights were popular in the late 1800s, but this appears to be the first to include such a playful feature—and it seems to have been the world’s first snow globe. Dear buyer, due to lighting effects, display brightness, manual measurement, etc., there may be some slight differences in color and size between photo and the actual item. Sincerely hope you can understand! Thank you!

Snow Globes for Celebrations The shaking of the globe is the very first step in beginning a narrative performance. The falling of the snow starts an action that ties together a miniature representation of the real world. The partial details of the miniature elements are what begin the narrative in the minds of the viewers.

As the last trivia tip said, Chromas are always going to be recolours of existing Blooks (e.g: Rainbow Panda, Panda). The only exception to this rule is the Pumpkin King blook, as its pumpkin design is very different from the Pumpkin blook itself. The miniature scenes inside the globes started to see a shift from the 1940s – the festive and religious scenes were replaced by travel destinations and advertisements of hotels or amusement parks. By the mid-1900s, the snow globe was a staple American product used for advertising and improving morale during the Second World War. The Paris Exposition welcomed more than 52,000 artisans from all over to display their fine and dandy productions to the world. It is believed that at least 7 artisans in the exposition presented the snowball, therefore it is likely that the invention of the snow globe predates the first mention in the exposition.

Gradually, news of the whimsical trinket reached America. In 1927, a man from Pittsburgh named Joseph Garaja applied for the first snow globe patent there, and with it, he introduced a radical new method: underwater assembly. This ensured that each globe would be fully filled with liquid and saved a significant amount of time and money—transforming the snow globe from an expensive indulgence into the affordable commodity we know today. There is something peculiarly mystical about the origin stories and metaphors attached to the snow globes in modern pop culture. The most common reference point to various films and literature which evoke childhood memories of carefree days and innocence at its finest. For all the happy days they’re supposed to symbolize, snow globes in movies rarely appear without a note of melancholy and remembrance of the days gone by. In films dedicated to the younger audience, the snow globe is an enchanting doorway between the realms of reality and fantasy. It reinforces the belief in the creatures of the magical wonderland encased within the glass dome. In the very beginning, the snowflakes (also known as flitter) were made of wax, bits of soap, metal flakes, ground rice, sand bone fragments, or even meerschaum (a white clay-like material). With mass production in mind, the flakes are now composed of glitter or plastic particles. Old- fashioned tower- shaped crystal ball with beautiful snowflakes inside, very stylish and delicate. It can be a music box, it will make a sound after power on. The growth of the plastic industry in the 1950s further improved ( or rather cheapened!) the snow globe production. Expensive materials used for the globe and the snow were replaced with cheaper alternatives, thus making the product easily available and accessible for all parts of society.

years later at the Paris Exposition 1889, the visitors came from every corner to witness the marvelous steel structure of the Eiffel Tower. Created to commemorate the inauguration of the tower and the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, the first iconic snow globe showcased the Eiffel Tower under the snow. From here on, the concept of snow globes as travel souvenirs was widely accepted throughout Victorian Europe. From Europe To America Every one loves the beauty and quality of CoolSnowGlobes®. When you buy directly from us, you can be assured you will receive an authentic CoolSnowGlobe®. While the “shaker” can begin ‘time’ within the globe, their inability to stop the snowflakes from descending is what creates an independent fantasy life cycle that can neither be replicated nor stopped. Tipping or shaking the globe resets the time and begins a new lifecycle. Cultural Undertones
