Glass Floats on the Shikotan island, Russia
Here is an old picture (unfortunately there is no date of when it was taken available) from the fishing port in Shikotan, Russia.
As far as we know, Russians are still using and manufacturing glass fishing floats in the East of Russia, although glass floats are considered by fishermen as ‘unpractical’ and ‘fragile’, so they mostly use plastic and aluminium floats now.

This fisherman has a nice smile on his face ,and might not if he had to work glass floats over the the rocky shore ! I see what looks like a 14 to 16 inch glass float at the ottom of the photo, I wonder if it had a mark.
