Description
This nativity snow globe brings the quiet heart of Christmas into one small scene. Beneath a clear dome, Joseph stands beside Mary as she kneels over the infant Jesus in his manger, all framed by a gold arch on two slender columns with a star at its peak. Fine iridescent glitter hangs in the water around them, catching the light in flecks of pink, green and gold. The dome rests on an ornate gold pedestal with a fluted bowl, a beaded rim and a leaf-patterned foot, giving the whole piece the look of a treasured heirloom. It stands 17cm tall, 8cm wide and 7cm deep.
Its compact size suits a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a sideboard or a bookshelf, and it sits among cards and greenery on a hall table without crowding them. Because the scene is the Nativity itself, it keeps the meaning of the season at the centre of your decorations, and it is a lovely piece to bring out each December as you set up for Christmas. At 8cm wide and 7cm deep it needs little room, so it fits on a busy shelf or a bedside table. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who treasures a traditional nativity.
The pedestal gives the globe a steady, freestanding base, so it needs no hook or wall and stands on any flat, level surface. Give it a gentle tilt and the glitter drifts down over the figures, then settles again once you set it down. To keep it looking its best, dust the dome and base with a soft dry cloth, lift it by the pedestal rather than the dome, and keep it out of direct sunlight. We like it on a bed of pine or beside a sprig of holly, where the gold base picks up the warmth of the room, and wrapped in tissue it becomes a gift to unpack year after year.
