A glass float is a buoyant, spherical object traditionally used in fishing, specifically for holding fishing nets afloat. These floats are typically made of glass and are often round or slightly oval. They come in various colors. The surface is can be smooth, with some having patterns or bubbles trapped inside the glass during the manufacturing process, giving them a unique, handcrafted appearance.

Glass floats are designed to be lightweight, and their ability to float on water is due to their hollow interior, which traps air. They were used by fishermen worldwide, especially in the mid-20th century, but were largely replaced by plastic floats over time due to durability concerns. Glass floats are now often considered collector's items, with some people searching for them along beaches, where they may wash ashore after being lost at sea.

Their nostalgic appeal comes from their rustic, handcrafted design and their connection to maritime history.
