Originally used by maritime workers to keep fishing nets afloat, these spheres are now highly prized by collectors for their striking colors and artisanal craftsmanship. The collection features a stunning oceanic palette ranging from deep forest green and vibrant cobalt teal to warm amber and ethereal clear seafoam. Each float bears the unique marks of the glassblowing process, including visible air bubbles and textured pontil scars where the glass was detached, lending a soulful, authentic quality to the group.


These versatile sculptural objects are perfect for adding a touch of nautical history to a curated coffee table bowl, a sunlit windowsill, or a minimalist mantel display. The set includes a range of sizes to create a dynamic arrangement: the largest centerpiece measures 9” in diameter and 8” tall; two medium spheres measure approximately 4.5” round; and the smaller duo includes a 3.75” round float. They are in great vintage condition, featuring minor surface scuffs and interior oxidation appropriate to their age and maritime use, which add to their unique character.
