: It's OK and accurate, but not much of a term... :-) Maybe כדור זכוכית מושלג would be a little (not much) better as I said.

I doubt there is a Hebrew term for it. I thought that כדור זכוכית עם שלג would best describe snowglobe. Thanks!

כדור שלג
As far as I know it is commonly referred as כדרור שלג.
בועת שלג may also fit.

: I considered כדור שלג but it would mean "snowball", which is something else. Sorry, but the link provided by Lingopro is hardly a reliable source.

I know and this is why I also suggested בועת שלג. However people common refer to this item as כדור שלג ask around and see

Ron Armon
: I agree that בועת שלג may work, but כדור שלג has too much meaning as a term and idiom, and IMHO should NOT be used for Snow-globe.

כדור זכוכית
or כדור בדולח?
Tough one!...
It's usualy more about the enclosure and transparency - hence my answer-without-snow.
You should certainly avoid כדור שלג... :-)
Depending on the context and how much you really need the "snow" to feature in translation - you may use:
כדור זכוכית מושלג
כדור בדולח מושלג

I specifically remember the Snow-globe theory about the series "Lost".
The idea was of an enclosed capsule with a full scenary in it - not much to do with snow...
Here - found it!

The "Lost" site is not meant as reference of course...
:-)
Simply to stress the snow-less idea...

In the 3rd section (scroll down) it says:
המופע כולו נקרא על שם כדור הזכוכית המוכר, המלא במים ובפתותי שלג
The show is called "שייקר"

Ron Armon
: Good as an explanation, but not Hebrew enough to use as translation (IMHO). It also lacks the mention of the shape (globe). Still, as you said - It DOES depend on context.

שייקר is a word commonly used in Israel ("new Hebrew") and in at least one other context (shaker for drinks), It would really depend on the context, wouldn't it?

כדור נוף מושלג
Sorry for the second try...
In view of your context - I just had another idea:
How about כדור נוף מושלג ?
Otherwise, in this context of a heading I'd use:
1. כדורי בדולח
2. כדורי בדולח מושלגים
3. כדורי זכוכית מושלגים

If you don't see the actual pics of the globes on the site, try copying them to WORD, for example and you will see snowglobes of all shapes and filling and sizes :-)
