The History of Christmas Snow Globes

Also known as water globes or snowdomes, snow globe collectibles were first spotted in Europe in the late 19th century. Faux snow added a playful touch to glass-domed paperweights, which were popular in the late 1800s. Then, an Austrian surgical instrument manufacturer patented Christmas globes in 1900. It was an accidental invention that came about while experimenting with light bulb brightness. The reflective particles he used in a water-filled glass globe fell like snow. Back then, snow globes usually featured tiny church replicas. Eventually, the designs of Christmas snow globes evolved. For instance, modern snow globes feature Father Christmas figurines and charming village silhouettes.
