Our Snowball is its own zen koan. It is at once fluid and solid; round and rectangular; black and white. It is transparent and opaque; kinetic and static; present, yet absent. The more you meditate on this timeless design, the more its simple beauty reveals. Glass globe on our Iconic Square Black Base Keep your globe out of direct sunlight. Sunlight shining through the water is a magnifier and can cause a fire. Sunlight can also cause the water to discolor. Dust with a soft cloth. Glass cleaner is fine on the globe. CoolSnowGlobes are made of glass and are not toys for children.
