Vintage Wavy Glass Block – 7 ¾" Square

Description :
This salvaged mid-century glass block features a distinctive wavy face pattern that refracts light in soft, fluid shapes. The pale green tint and thick-walled construction are typical of industrial-grade glass blocks used in commercial and residential builds throughout the mid–20th century. Light residue and minor wear from removal are visible, but the piece remains fully intact and visually clear—ideal for restoration work, small architectural projects, lighting builds, or creative repurposing such as bookends or plant stands.
