Seven vintage Japanese glass fishing floats have baby-blue and teal glass enclosed in knotted rope netting. Bubbles and rippled surfaces are visible in the glass, while the brown cord forms diamond-shaped openings around each float. The rope jackets, worn and frayed from use, provided attachment points for fishing gear and helped cushion the glass from knocks. Their dark knotted lines contrast with the translucent blue-green spheres. The largest measures approximately 3.5" x 3.25" overall.
