Japanese Purple Glass Fishing Float - Rare Maritime Collector's Piece

This item is an antique Japanese purple glass fishing float, traditionally used by fishermen to buoy their nets in ocean waters. The spherical float exhibits a distinctive purple hue, an unusual and rare color compared to the more common green or aqua shades typically seen in these floats. Crafted using hand-blown techniques, the float's surface may display minor air bubbles and irregularities, which are characteristic of its artisanal production. These floats were essential tools for maritime activities in the early to mid-20th century and have since become valued collectibles for their unique coloration and historical significance.
