A Little History on the Snow Globe
Precisely when the first snow globe, also called a waterglobe or snowdome, was made remains unclear, but they appear to date from France during the early 1800s. They may have appeared as a successor to the glass paperweight, which became popular a few years earlier. Snow globes appeared at the Paris Universal Expo in 1878, and by 1879, at least five companies were producing snow globes and selling them throughout Europe. In 1889, a snow globe containing a model of the newly built Eiffel Tower was produced to commemorate the International Exposition in Paris, which marked the centenary of the French Revolution. This globe quickly became a favourite souvenir for attendees. Snow globes became popular in England during the Victorian era and, in the early 1920s, crossed the Atlantic to the United States of America where they became a popular collectors item. Many of these globes were produced by Atlas Crystal Works, which had factories in Germany and America.

Movies and Stars
From Star Wars to Batman to John Wayne
Long anticipaed is Frank Miller's movie adaptation of Will Eisner's comic strip The Spirit. Dark Horse celebrates the release with sophisticated limited-edition pieces based on the characters as they appear in the film. The continual snowfall is a graphic theme in The Spirit, as it has often been in Frank Miller's graphic stories, and creates a visual atmosphere that oozes drama. Therefore, it was not hard to imagine a beautiful snow globe that would capture and reproduce the effect.
You may choose to hang one of these awesome ornaments on the dark side of your tree. (It might feel more at home there.) But you'll probably want them all right out in front where everyone can appreciate them! The decorations in this Star Wars Holiday Waterball Ornament Value Bundle also make terrific additions to festive wreaths, and you can even hang them from the rearview mirror of your car or truck to bring a little Star Wars cheer to your commute. They're miniature holiday snow globes that you can shake to engulf the characters in a Hoth-like blizzard!
