Best Answer

the person who made snow globes was founded in turkey

addition to this answer:

I am not familiar with any snow globe manufacturers in Tukey.

However, I believe a very snow globe was made in Austra by a man named Erwin Perzy in 1900. He used snow made from ground rice.

The idea of the snow globe wasn't entirely new, however. During the Paris World Fair of 1878, an object resembling the snow globe was displayed. The story of how Perzy stumbled upon making snow globes is very interesting: he was experimenting to make the "new" Edison light bulb glow brighter.

The company Perzy founded is still in the same family in Vienna, Austria, and often called "The Original Viennese Snowglobe."

Perzy is also known because they produced the snow globe which became famous in the movie "Citizen Kane".

We know that snow globes were introduced in the late 1800s, and some were made to commemorate the opening of the Eiffel Tower, which was in March of 1889.

There are a handful of examples of this Eiffel Tower snow globe still in existence. The name of the original artist or artists who created snow globes is not known, although it seems they first appeared in Europe.

The very early snow globes sometimes used crushed egg shells to recreate "snow" and a wax seal that did not last long ... more modern snow globes use a variety of materials to float inside the liquid.
