Description: Are you looking for one of the world's largest glass floats? Probably a antique Japanese fishing floatThen this one we have found in a boathouse in north of Michigan along with other antique fishing items all before 1900This is a hand-blown glass ball from the 1890s-1930s.It has a lovely green color with air pockets in the glassIt has a large, beautiful breaking surface where it is broken off when it is blown.2 initials are imprinted in glassThis fits beautifully in a maritime environment as a center piece.It can also be used as decoration in a hotel, restaurant, etc.If you collect old glass floats, then this one is something to consider. Glass balls of this size are very rare to find as they have often broken.The ball is in very good condition with no damage, I’m not sure if the rope is the original rope but it’s definitely very old in excellent conditionThis glass float is 10” in diameter, circumference 39” with the ropeThis requires good packing and packaging, so the shipping might be expensiveIt is difficult to calculate the price of such a rare object, so we are also open to decent offers. I do have the same glass ball size without the rope in stock but my guess is that is a Russian float.
