Please help!

You know those little glass balls (filled with liquid) that have scenery and when you shake them up it snows (not outside but inside the ball)? Hope I am explaining this correctly. Well, can someone please tell me what they are called?

TIA

The first snowglobes are said to have come from France in the eary 1800's. Many believe following in the footsteps of the paperweight. The earliest known snowglobes were made of glass and were part of Victorian upper class lifestyles in the 1870's. Made popular by those who had a love of such eclectic decor. As early as 1879 five manufacturers were shipping them all over Europe.
What's inside a snowglobe?
The 'domed' appearing snowglobes were actually glass spheres made from leaded glass, filled with water, sealed, and then placed on top of ceramic or cast iron bases. The 'snow' was bone chips or tiny pieces of porcelain, and even sawdust had been used. These began making their debut in the 1920's to the US, and soon became a popular collector's item. Oftentimes they are still called snowdomes by many.
