Authentic example of a vintage fishing buoy, dating back to the first half of the 20th century (circa 1930-1940). This piece is not a simple decoration, but a fragment of maritime history, probably of Scandinavian origin (Norway), where amber glass was used for its resistance and visibility in Northern waters.
The object stands out for the rarity of its deep amber color, much less common than the classic green variants. The artisanal workmanship is demonstrated by the suggestive 'button' seal applied by heat and by the fascinating inclusions and air bubbles trapped in the glass, which certify its authenticity and mouth-blowing.
