Block Basics · Kitchenware > Glassware
Era / Decade
Early 2000s; dating clues include the style of the sticker and the presence of the "Block Basics" brand which was a common mass-market line during the late 90s and early 2000s.
Material
Mass-produced soda-lime glass; standard thickness with moderate clarity.
Condition
Very Good; the sticker is still attached indicating it may have seen little use. There are no obvious chips or heavy scratching visible, though light scuffing on the base is common for glass of this type.
Demand Level
Low; common glassware items from mass-market brands are widely available and don't typically have a collector following.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$3.00 - $12.00 (Single pieces are low value; sets of 4-6 reach higher relative price points).
Estimated Retail Value
$4.00 - $8.00 per piece
Comparable Sales
Single glasses from this brand typically sell for $1-$3 at yard sales or $5-$10 on eBay for discontinued matching replacement pieces to buyers who broke one from an existing set.
Description
A classic, round clear glass vessel from the Block Basics line. Features a weighted bottom and rounded sides. Can be used as a stemless wine glass, a juice tumbler, or a decorative votive candle holder. Minimalist and clear to match any decor.
Key Features
Clean minimalist aesthetic; brand label attached indicates it hasn't been through many dishwasher cycles; versatile use-case for buyers.
Authenticity Indicators
Original blue 'Block Basics' bee logo foil sticker is present. Confidence Level: High.
Flaws to Note
Sticker residue or damage to the label; minor surface scratches known as 'shelf wear' on the bottom; possible air bubbles from the manufacturing process.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Local Thrift; shipping a single low-value glass item is rarely profitable due to postage costs and breakage risks.
Selling Tips
Do not buy as a single item for resale unless you have a matching set at home to complete. If selling, bundle it with other clear glassware. Use keywords like 'Minimalist', 'Stemless', and 'Replacement Glass'.
