Wardian Cases
 Terrariums are generally credited with being invented by a man named Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward. He invented them during the Victorian era and created a style of glass case with a metal frame that was very popular during the era. These terrariums were called "Wardian Cases" after Ward. You can learn more about him and the history of the terrarium on my page here "The History of the Terrarium"
The picture shown here is a Victorian Wardian Case. I have on this page two sizes of terrariums Table Top and Floor Model.
