These gorgeous 10" green glass balls are one of the most important tools needed for fishing, often referred to as a float or a bobber, these items serve two purposes. First, it will allow the bait to be suspended at a predetermined depth, and second it's an indicator of a bite.

The Norwegians, back in the 1840s, were the first to make use of these types of handmade, glass fishing floats. The majority of the originals people find today are usually from the fishing industry in Japan.
These lovely green glass fishing floats would make an awesome gift to any nautical collector as well as fitting easily into a beach themed room. They also make gorgeous sun catchers if you hang them out in your garden, or even indoors.
