Vintage Ribbed Glass Block – 7 ¾" Square

Description : This salvaged mid-century glass block features a vertical ribbed pattern that enhances light diffusion while maintaining a clean, structured appearance. The pale green tint and thick, molded edges reflect classic industrial glass block manufacturing. Light residue and wear from removal are present but do not affect structural integrity. This block is ideal for architectural repair, small wall sections, lighting projects, or creative reuse such as bookends, risers, or display accents.
