Bottle Buoys
Hand produced traditional glass floats and buoys produced to order - a charming present for all boating enthusiasts. Perfect for seaside gift shops, chandlers, pubs and bars, curio shops and narrow boat enthusiasts etc. Fishermen once produced these floats in vast numbers, mostly from bottles like these or specially made glass floats. Some would spend many hours encasing the glass in their own distinctive, heavily plaid rope binding, to prevent it from being broken at sea. Glass floats disappeared from our inshore waters with the advent of plastic containers with handles and cheap plastic buoys. Reproduction round floats are still produced today for decorative purposes, but now the ornate ropework is replaced by thin string netting that requires little skill to make. Contact us directly if you are interested in any of these products. No order too small!
