Vintage Amber Glass Fishing Net Float Orb

This is a vintage handblown amber glass fishing float, traditionally used by fishermen to keep their nets afloat. The float features a beautiful rich brown-amber hue, a perfectly spherical form, and a sealed glass top “button”, characteristic of authentic handblown net floats.

Made from thick, durable glass, this orb was likely used in mid-20th century maritime operations—possibly in Japan, Norway, or along the Pacific coast. Today, these pieces are prized as nautical collectibles and coastal home decor accents.
