This antique Japanese glass fishing float dates to the early to mid 20th century and was originally used as a buoy for fishing nets. Hand blown from heavy glass, it features natural bubbles and variations that give it depth and character. Over time, it has developed a soft patina with light surface scratches, adding to its authenticity and storied appeal.
