snowglobe
Miniature blizzard sphere
A snowglobe is a decorative object containing a miniature scene enclosed in a clear sphere filled with liquid.
When shaken, white particles swirl and settle like falling snow: She shook the snowglobe and watched the flakes drift over the tiny village.
Snowglobes are popular souvenirs and holiday ornaments.
