Snow Globes Forever Stamps, 2023 Booklet – Christmas Cards and Letters

Snow globes possess a magical quality, holding a small world in our hands. In 2023, the USPS added that magic to our mail with four whimsical holiday postage Stamps.

The earliest snow globes, produced as paperweights, date back to the 1878 and 1889 Paris Universal Expositions. Austrian inventor Erwin Perzy filed the first snow globe patent in 1900, opening the Original Wiener Schneekugelmanufacktur in Vienna.

Perzy’s globes gained worldwide fame, leading to a surge in snow globe production globally. They began featuring various themes, characters, and scenes, with Christmas-themed globes becoming particularly popular.
