Vintage Ribbed Glass Block – 5 ¾" Square

Description :
This small salvaged glass block features a ribbed linear pattern on both faces, giving it a clean, modern look while still providing classic mid-century light diffusion. Its compact size makes it ideal for creative builds—shelf risers, accent lighting, terrarium bases, bookends, or small architectural repairs. The pale green tint and thick edges are consistent with vintage production. Light residue and expected wear from removal are present, but the block remains structurally solid and visually clear.
