Since these are hand blown , there are thin on oneside of the glass ball and thicker on other sides.Until you actually start cutting you really cant tell which side is thicker or not.Thought about cutting and drilling hole where the nipple is from being hand blown , but the bit won't come down close and even to surface while drilling .Here are a couple of pics of the cobalt blue glass float before I frosted it and shipped it off to WestADad in Nebraska .
