CoolSnowGlobes Lab in the Woods 4" Snow Globe — Handcrafted Golden Retriever & Cardinal, Piano Black Base

Lab in the Woods is a handcrafted 4" glass snow globe by CoolSnowGlobes featuring a Golden Retriever and a cardinal in a forest glade for peaceful desktop or mantel display.

This collectible water globe captures a cozy winter moment: a seated Golden Retriever gazing up at a bright cardinal perched on a snowy limb, while white glittering "snow" drifts around the scene. Each globe is produced with traditional artisan techniques—hand-blown glass, hand-cast and hand-painted figures—combined with a contemporary resin base finished in piano black with a matte sheen. The compact size and gift-ready packaging make it an easy choice for seasonal decorating, meaningful presents, or a small piece of tactile nostalgia.

What does the Lab in the Woods globe look like up close?

The scene is carefully modeled to convey warmth and quiet charm: a lifelike Golden Retriever sits attentively amid textured forest floor details while a bright cardinal rests overhead. The glass clarity highlights hand-painted color accents and the soft motion of suspended white flakes when shaken.

• 4" diameter clear glass globe for crisp viewing
• Hand-painted Golden Retriever and cardinal with fine color detail
• Resin base in piano black with matte finish for stable display
• Subtle glittering white flakes that float throughout the scene

How is this globe made and how durable is it?

Each CoolSnowGlobes piece is crafted using small-batch artisan methods: the globe is hand-blown, the miniature figures are hand-cast and then hand-painted, and the base is attached to ensure stability. The materials and assembly are chosen for lasting appearance, though these are decorative keepsakes that should be handled with care to preserve paint and glass integrity.

• Hand-blown glass resists distortion and showcases the scene
• Hand-cast resin figures for detailed sculpting and color
• Attached resin base provides stable support and display
• Packaged in cushioned gift box to reduce shipping damage

Where can I place this globe and how big is it?

The globe is sized to fit comfortably on shelves, desks, bedside tables, or mantel edges without dominating a room. With a total height of about 4.5" and a 4" globe diameter, it’s small enough for focused display yet large enough to show sculptural detail clearly.

• Overall dimensions: 4.5" (h) x 4" (w) x 4" (d)
• Glass globe diameter: 4" — easy to hold in one hand
• Weight: approximately 2.5 pounds for solid, stable placement
