Hand-blown aqua glass float encased in its original knotted rope net. Once used to keep fishing nets afloat, the float was partially filled with water to add weight and stability, helping it stay in place on choppy seas. The bubbles and subtle variations in the glass speak to its handmade origins.
Size: circumference is approximately 31.5”
Collector’s Note: Victorian-era fishing floats with intact rope are increasingly scarce. The survival of both the glass and its original rigging makes this a true maritime treasure.
