A storm in a glass bubble


Snow-Storm or Snow Globe




 This Snow Globe, comes out for Christmas and when the clockwork is wound, plays the Christmas carol 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing'. It was made during the 21st Century in China. The very first Snow Globe was probably made in France during the 19th Century.

Toot and I both remember when as children we opened our respective Christmas stockings and found inside; a Snow Storm together with a an apple, an orange, some nuts and a sixpence.
