Antique Japanese Glass Fishing Floats - Maritime Collectibles


This is a set of antique Japanese glass fishing floats, traditionally used by fishermen to keep their nets buoyant in the ocean. These floats are spherical and made of hand-blown glass, often featuring a smooth surface with occasional air bubbles, which add to their unique charm. They were commonly produced in shades of green, blue, or amber, with some variations depending on the glass composition. Dating back to the early to mid-20th century, these floats were an essential tool for Japanese fishermen and have since become sought-after collectibles for their historical significance and aesthetic appeal.


Materials made of: Hand-blown glass.


Measurements: 3 inches around diameter




Note: Japanese net balls
