Here's a desktop version of the Blue Green Earthsphere, which at six inches would fit nicely on your desk. Like its larger cousins, the acrylic globe is perched on a separate base. The globe is silk-screened on the interior surface, showing countries, capitals and major cities, bodies of water, as well as longitude and latitude markings, all etched in white against richly colored shades of translucent blue water and green land. Custom crafted in the United States from museum-quality acrylic, each layer of color is individually applied by hand.  (GLB16, $49.00)
