Glittery water paperweight

A snowdome is a decorative object consisting of a transparent sphere or dome filled with water, a miniature scene, and white particles that swirl like falling snow when shaken.

Also called a snow globe.

The scenes inside typically depict winter landscapes, landmarks, or holiday imagery: She brought back a snowdome from every city she visited.
