Description

With a gentle shake of each exquisite orb, you can relive that “perfect day” or anticipate a cherished season's return with these Four Seasons Waterglobes. The gracious cherry trees of Spring rain their blossoms upon a landscaped bridge; the elegant lilac trees of Summer shelter a statue inspired by American sculptor August St. Gaudens; the scarlet-leaved trees of Autumn shower the fall landscape with fiery sparkles; and the bare birch trees of Winter welcome gentle snowfalls. Resin, glass. Made in China.

Museum Story

These Four Seasons Waterglobes recalls the Smithsonian's extensive seasonal plantings and cherry blossom artworks at our Freer Gallery of Art. A gift to the nation by Charles Lang Freer, the Gallery contains an extensive collection of oriental art, prints, sculpture and ceramics.

Bought all 4 based on recommendations by Smithsonian shopper and so glad I did. Only con is to keep away from children! Product is weighty and needs TLC when it comes to being shaken and little ones cant keep their hands off it. Especially the Spring one. These are such a lovely accent piece and highly recommend them!

I bought this set for my mother for Christmas. When the globes arrived, they each had air bubbles near the top, but they were otherwise just as pictured. I contacted customer service and they informed me that the waterglobes must have been frozen in transit (much of the US was suffering from a deep freeze at the time) and then promptly sent replacements. I just received the last globes to complete the set today and I am completely impressed! As is my mom! These are gorgeous keepsakes. Washington

I purchased the set of 4 globes. The first set arrived with the winter globe damaged (inside scene not totally glued down). I called and they sent another winter globe. Same issue. The 3rd globe sent was fine. Although I was unhappy that I had to have the one item sent 3 times, customer service was very nice to work with. They made a note to check the 3rd globe before it was shipped which was extra on their part. michigan

My wife collects waterglobes and glass paper weights and these were her birthday presents. She was absolutely delighted to add these to her extensive collection. They are beautiful and charming and will certainly be the kinds of heirlooms we want to pass on to our children and their children. The Villages, Florida
