Decorative Glass Fishing Float - Cobalt Blue

A decorative glass fishing float in a lovely shade of cobalt blue.

Ready to hang or nonchalantly left lying around the seaside inspired home.

Glass fishing floats buoys were first used in Norway around 1840; the nets sometimes up to 50 miles long were set adrift and supported near the surface by the hollow glass balls containing air to give them buoyancy.

By the 1940s, glass had mostly replaced wood and cork throughout much of the world. Sadly plastic and Styrofoam have taken over nowadays, although considerably more practical they’re not nearly as attractive.
