2023 Snow Globes
- Celebrates the popularity and whimsy of snow globes
Stamp Category: Commemorative
Value: 66¢ First Class Mail Rate (Forever)
First Day of Issue: September 19, 2023
First Day City: Breckenridge, Colorado
Quantity Issued: 550,000,000
Printed by: Ashton Potter (USA) Ltd.
Printing Method: Offset
Format: Double-sided Booklets of 20
Tagging: Nonphosphored type III, block tagged
Why the stamps were issued: To celebrate the holiday season
About the stamp designs: Each stamp pictures an oil painting of a snow globe by Gregory Manchess. Includes four different designs: a snowman, Santa Claus, a deer, and Christmas tree. All four stamps have a different background color, as well.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Stephen C. West Ice Arena in Breckenridge, Colorado.
History the stamp represents: Snow globes have a magical quality. Each one contains a small world we can hold in our hands. In 2023, the USPS brought some of that magic to our mail with four whimsical holiday postage stamps.
The earliest snow globes were paper weights produced for the 1878 and 1889 Paris Universal Expositions. But it was Austrian inventor Erwin Perzy who filed the world’s first snow globe patent in 1900. He called it the schneekugel (snow globe) and opened the Original Wiener Schneekugelmanufacktur in Vienna. Perzy’s globes became famous around the world and others began to make their own. Over time, innovations made them easier to make, and the number of snow globes produced around the world skyrocketed. Before long, there were snow globes advertising businesses and tourist destinations. Some featured popular characters, buildings, intricate scenes, and more. Though snow globes have been made for all occasions and holidays, Christmas-themed globes remain some of the most popular.
And while most of us like to shake the globes to make the snow fall, experts will tell you that you should hold it upside down instead. Once all the snow collects in the top, turn it back over and watch the snow fall as the designer intended.
