This is an authentic vintage Japanese glass fishing float that was originally used in actual fishing operations in Japan. It features a beautiful pale aqua to blue-green color and still retains its aged rope net. The glass shows small air bubbles, slight distortions, and variations in thickness, all characteristic of vintage glass floats. Approximate size Circumference: approx. 66 cm / 26 in Diameter: approx. 21 cm / 8.3 in Two rope sections remain for hanging, each measuring approximately 20 cm. Both are broken or shortened with age, but with some adjustment or retying, the float may still be displayed hanging. Condition As an authentic vintage fishing float, the glass shows light surface scratches, rubbing, and natural signs of use. The rope net shows age-related discoloration, fraying, looseness, and some broken sections. The glass body itself is well preserved overall. Please review all photographs carefully for details of the condition. With its attractive aqua glass and surviving aged rope net, this is a charming piece of Japanese maritime history and an appealing decorative object for nautical, rustic, or coastal interiors.
