This is a Japanese fishing float was actually used and has spent much of its life at sea.

Its thick heavy glass contains impurities, inclusions and bubbles that are intrinsic to the Japanese manufacturing process. It is in good and sound condition with the normal wear one finds on fishing floats that have survived years of use in the ocean. The float is beautiful pale sky blue color. The float is nice in that it has the full original net attached that is exceptionally tight and a very unique black color (see photos). It also has a maker's mark that looks like the number "6" (see photos) This is a unique and exceptional float that would enhance any collection or is great as a stand alone exhibit!

*NOTE: The distance around a sphere, or in this case a float, is known as the circumference.
