Description :

This unique collection features a vintage mid-century ice bucket and a set of assorted hand-blown glass fishing floats. The ice bucket is a beautiful example of mid-century barware, with a wood grain veneer finish, brass rings, and a brass swing handle. It measures approximately 12 inches tall and 14 inches wide.
The accompanying glass floats, also known as "ukidama" or "bindama," are sought-after collector's items. These floats were once used by fishermen, primarily in Japan, to keep fishing nets afloat. They are now popular decorative pieces for home and garden, especially for those with nautical or coastal décor. The floats in this lot come in a variety of colors, including blue, green, and amethyst, with some having a "rolling pin" shape. The floats range in size from approximately 2 to 6 inches in diameter.
This lot is ideal for a collector of nautical décor, a mid-century modern enthusiast, or someone looking for a unique and conversation-starting decorative set.
