Vintage Japanese GLASS FISHING FLOAT.. Moss Green. Many Bubbles, Mark (#91)

This float is approximately 9.5 inches in circumference (see note below regarding the circumference measurement)*. It is made of hand blown glass that was blown into a two part mold, leaving a seam around it (see photos). This is a Japanese fishing float was actually used and has spent much of its life at sea. It has been picked out of hundreds of beachcombed and Japanese fishing floats to offer because of its unique qualities and characteristics. 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. This float has thick glass and is a beautiful moss green color with many bubbles and striations in the glass (see photos). There are swirls left by threads of molten glass on the outside of float during the manufacturing process (see photos). There is a maker's mark on the outside of the float but it is faint and does not photograph well (see photo). Every vintage float is different and this one has many beautiful unique features (see photos).
