FAQs

What are the dimensions of the snow sphere?

Specific dimensions are not provided, but the product is described as a 'small' snow sphere.

Is the Medusa head inside the sphere or printed on the outside?

The sphere features an interior Medusa hardware and a front Medusa print with a snow effect.

Can this snow sphere be used as a functional item, like a paperweight?

No, this item is purely ornamental and designed for decorative display. It is not intended for functional use.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the retailer or Rosenthal for specific warranty details.

How should I store the snow sphere if I need to put it away?

Store the snow sphere in its original packaging or a similar protective box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and potential impact.

Is the gold finish prone to chipping?

The gold finish is applied to high-quality materials. While generally durable, it can be susceptible to chipping if dropped or subjected to harsh impacts. Gentle handling is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Snow effect is not swirling properly

Gently tilt the sphere to redistribute the snow. Ensure the sphere is at room temperature, as extreme cold can affect the liquid's viscosity.

Gold finish appears dull

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently buff the surface. Avoid any liquid cleaners unless specifically recommended for gold-plated items, and test in an inconspicuous area first.

Visible smudges or fingerprints

Clean gently with a soft, lint-free cloth (microfiber is ideal). For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with distilled water, then wipe dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. This is a decorative item intended to be placed on a stable surface. Ensure the chosen location is flat and secure to prevent accidental tipping.

Compatibility: This product is designed for indoor decorative use only. It is compatible with most interior decor styles, particularly those favoring maximalist, opulent, or designer-led aesthetics.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the gold finish and porcelain.
  2. Handling: Handle with care, especially when moving the sphere. The glass and porcelain components are delicate.
  3. Placement: Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent potential fading of the finish. Avoid areas with extreme temperature fluctuations.
  4. Snow Effect: To activate the snow effect, gently tilt or shake the sphere. Avoid vigorous shaking, which may cause internal components to shift excessively.
