This is a replica of the snowglobe that Charles Foster Kane, (Orson Welles), is holding in his hand, and then drops onto the ground just before he dies at the beginning of the classic 1941 film CITIZEN KANE. In the movie the snowglobe belonged to his mistress and eventual second wife Susan Alexander, (Dorothy Comingore), and can clearly be seen on her dresser after they first meet and are talking in her apartment.
