snow globe

A small world under glass. Shake it and watch the snow swirl, then slowly settle.

The first snow globe was an accident — a shoemaker in 19th century Austria, experimenting with ways to make brighter lamplight, put water and reflective particles in a glass sphere. A world was born by mistake.

Every snow globe is a tiny universe where time moves differently. The snow falls forever. The scene never changes. Nothing can get in or out.
