Description

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.

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.

Paperweights of hollow balls filled with water, containing a man with an umbrella. These balls also contain a white powder, which, when the paperweight is turned upside down, falls in imitation of a snowstorm.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 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®. 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! 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.
