A large vintage Japanese glass fishing float has a deep emerald-green body with small bubbles and rippled surfaces. A raised sealing button closes the glass opening, with a separate circular impressed mark nearby. The sealed hollow sphere supplied buoyancy for fishing nets or lines, a practical maritime use behind its sculptural form. Light passing through the rounded body reveals paler green areas and variations in the glass. The float measures approximately 9.5" in diameter x 11" tall.
