The sea glass window is closing. This is what I told Margaret Zackowitz, a writer with National Geographic magazine while she was interviewing me for a sea glass article. But that was back in 2007. I believe it has become even scarcer since then. Today, there is less packaging and more recycling; therefore, the pieces that were what I would call “prolific” along the shore just thirty years ago are becoming fewer and farther between. We are also seeing that the more well-known dump sites that used to have “a lot” of sea glass are availing smaller and smaller pieces.
Most glass float pieces are usually more than fifty to one hundred years old. 5. This particular piece also has a slight curvature to it that is not as tight as a bottle glass curve would be. It has a wider curve that indicates a larger ball shape, like a glass float would have. My coworker Lindsay found what I am sure was a piece of sea glass that originated from a Japanese glass fishing float. The orb came away from its net in the Pacific and floated across to a West Coast shore and most likely was dashed upon the rocks.
Puts her on the fast track when it comes to identifying the origin of a piece of sea glass. Her exquisite sea glass collection is a testament of her many lengthy and meandering journeys along the world’s coastlines. Within these pages, she shares beautiful photographs of some of her crown sea glass jewels. A collection such as this only comes together after many years of beachcombing far and wide. While reviewing the materials, I found myself constantly returning to favorite sections and photographs of rare beauties.
