Here's a nice old hand blown Japanese fishing net float that's signed with a raised glass blob chop mark. Measures about 36-1/2" to 37" in circumference (includes thickness of the net). To me, the glass looks light blue with a hint of green. It depends on how you hold it to the light. I've tried to draw the signed chop mark the best I could, showing it in my 5th photo (I hope it's not upside down). NO glass cracks. The glass has lots of old bubbles in it. Has a large glass blob seal. The glass has light dust on it that I'll let you tidy up. The glass also appears to be very thick and heavy as this weights about 6-1/2 pounds. The netting is VERY tight and secure and barely moves! All the webbing is intact with NO cut or loose pieces. The previous owner strung 4 wires from the bottom, up the sides, to the top so this would be more secure when hanging. You can easily remove these if you'd like. The top has a metal hanging hook. This float has been kept very well over the years and is ready for display.
