snow dome

Glittery water paperweight

A snow dome is a decorative object containing a miniature scene enclosed in a transparent sphere filled with liquid and white particles.

When shaken, the particles swirl and settle like falling snow: She collected snow domes from every city she visited.

Also called a snow globe.
