Nativity Musical Snowglobe
Silver Plate Holiday Decor by Reed & Barton
What is .925 Sterling Silver?
The Short Answer:
Sterling silver consists of at least 92.5 percent silver and 7.5% percent of other metals like copper, nickel, or both. The reason for this is Pure Silver or Fine Silver, is very soft and very malleable making it easy to damage or bend. Other metal alloys like copper or nickel are added to the silver to make a more durable piece.
All items sold by Silver Superstore as “Sterling Silver” contain at least 92.5% percent Silver and are stamped with either “.925”, “Sterling Silver”, or both.

What does " w/stamp " mean?
As of April 2022, Fortessa is no longer stamping their logo in their flatware pieces. We do have some stock left of the stamped versions. If you are looking to match your older, stamped, pieces you will want to select the pieces denoted with “w/stamp”.

ABOSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!
Beautiful. I bought these for my grandchildren for Christmas. I buy them Lenox items for Christmas every year.
This is a beautiful musical snow globe with a small Nativity inside. Overall I'd give it about a 4.8 or 4.9 of 5. I hope the silver-plated base will not tarnish; I have some concerns for that as it isn't described as anti-tarnish. The melody of the very appropriate song O Holy Night isn't exactly as it's usually played; the end notes go higher instead of lower, but the musical tones are lovely and the song is recognizable. I'd also prefer a halo only over the baby Jesus and not over his parents, but that's a quibble I'll overlook because of the inclusion of shepherds on the base. Shepherds are often inexplicably omitted from many Nativity scenes, but they are an important part of the birth of Christ events. All in all, this is a lovely snow globe celebrating the true meaning of Christmas. I ordered one for each of my grandchildren, who are all young adults. Also note: This product is boxed for gifting and labeled as Reed & Barton, not Lenox. I had presumed it would be marked as a Lenox product, which I'd have preferred. Like many products over the past couple of decades, this is marked Made in China. Also, my order for these was shipped in partial shipments. To answer a couple of posted questions, the snow globe is not lighted and the base does not turn. There is a wind-up mechanism on the bottom to play the musical notes, as with similar musical snow globes. This snow globe is rather heavy for its size and appears to be good quality.
