We've reinvented our classic winter stream this year, but we stand by our love of the Basho haiku. "Winter solitude in a world of one color — the sound of wind." Nothing says it better than that! 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.
