In the 19th century, Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley struggled to capture the fleeting wonder of snowflakes, successfully photographing the first in 1885 using a surface of black velvet. Though the methodology has improved since then, the awe for the snowflake’s exquisiteness remains.
Like those early photographs, our Snowflake suspends the crystalline, geometric perfection of what Bentley called “tiny miracles of beauty.”
An engaging snow globe is much more than flittering flakes. It’s an experience, a tiny world to discover. Chillingly beautiful.
Husband and wife art-and-design team, Liz Ross and David Westby created CoolSnowGlobes to encapsulate exquisite moments such as rapturous autumn leaves, the quiet enchantment of fresh snow or a glittering star storm. Based in Vermont and initially inspired by the glorious seasons of New England, CoolSnowGlobes has grown into the foremost designer and manufacturer of hand-painted, heirloom-quality snow globes worldwide. Each unique globe is made of glass which once filled with water, magnifies the objects inside. Every model is painstakingly rendered before being cast and hand-painted and then filled with purified water and "flitter".
