Detail
Glass block has a long-standing history in architectural design. first patented in 1866 by Gustave Falconnier. Glass bricks. or briques de verre. were blown into a mold with a hollow center and an open hole at the end. which was then filled with a plug. The end of this glass block has been left open so that it can serve as a vase. Very Post-modern and Art Deco at the same time.
