Six vintage Japanese glass fishing floats range from pale blue to teal, with bubbles and ripples visible through the translucent glass. Each is enclosed in diamond-patterned rope netting, with knotted intersections and worn, frayed brown cord. Such rope jackets cushioned the glass and provided a way to secure the floats to fishing gear; their open diamond pattern now frames the blue glass. The largest measures approximately 3.5" in diameter x 3.25" tall.
