How much do you really know about snow globes? Probably not that much, according to Artsy.net. "Most of us don’t know where snow globes come from. Indeed, the early years are rather fuzzy, but it is clear that the snow globe traces back to Europe near the end of the 19th century."
"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."
But it's not that simple. Erwin Perzy, an Austrian man, is "widely considered to be its proper 'inventor,' albeit accidentally." If you want to know more, read more about the history of snow globes.
