Vintage Japanese Ukidama (Glass Fishing Float) — 1980s, Showa Era
Timeless Maritime Charm from Japan’s Coastal Heritage

This vintage Japanese ukidama, or glass fishing float, is a captivating piece of maritime history. Handcrafted in the 1980s during the Showa Era, these floats were once used by Japanese fishermen to keep their fishing nets afloat. Today, they’ve become sought-after decorative pieces, beloved for their rustic nautical appeal and unique craftsmanship.

Mouth-blown into a perfectly round form, this sea-green float still retains its original hand-tied rope netting—a nod to its working past and traditional techniques. The visible pontil mark on one end is a signature feature of its handmade origin, and subtle bubbles in the glass add authenticity and vintage charm.

Perfect for coastal-inspired interiors, collectors of nautical artifacts, or anyone wishing to bring a touch of Japanese coastal tradition into their space.
