These six vintage hand-blown Japanese glass fishing floats come in shades ranging from pale aqua and teal to emerald and olive green. Blown as hollow spheres and closed with raised glass sealing buttons, floats of this type kept fishing nets and lines buoyant. Variations in color, trapped bubbles, and surface texture distinguish these six examples, giving each a different character when displayed together. They measure approximately 3.44"-3.51" in diameter and show some surface wear from use and handling.
