Japanese Fishing Float - 12" Amber
Original Vintage Japanese Glass Fishing Float
This beautiful float was sourced from the Northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, where glass floats have been used in the fishing industry since early in the twentieth century.
Hand blown glass was used for its buoyancy, with hand tied ropes used for protection and rigging.
These floats were often re-roped numerous times throughout their lives, as they were constantly recycled.
This particular float has had its rope removed to show off its very rare dark amber colouring, looking amazing with light to refracting through.
