DescriptionGlass fishing net ball is a clear, see-through glass ball with a green hue. The inside is hollow and the ball doesn't appear to be perfectly spherical in shape. A spiral pattern stars at the top of the ball and makes its way down to the bottom. The spiral pattern seems to be a result of the glass-making process. Some areas of the glass are not perfectly see-through and the bottom of the ball that is sealed spills out with another layer of glass. Above the seal (inside the ball) is a tiny sphere that is likely a result of closing the ball.
