We are able to tell that this is a reproduction glass sea float due to the fact that this piece is light weight and lacks a seal on the pontil. Either way, this vintage reproduction is exceptionally beautiful and replicates the purple glass sea floats that were commonly produced alongside emerald green, yellow, orange, and cobalt blue, floats between the 1920s and 1930s. These reproduction floats are really beautiful and delicately crafted and all are one of a kind due to their imperfections that occur during the glass blowing process. This particular glass float boasts the same character with its bubbles and marks of imperfection. There are scratches and marks of age on this vintage piece, but no chips, cracks or breaks. A really stunning styling piece and a simple way to add a pop of bold organic color to your personal space.
Measurements (approximate): 8 inch diameter sphere (not perfectly spherical due to the pontil mark)
