transparent glass

Invisible-seeming window material

Glass that allows light to pass through clearly, permitting unobstructed vision of what lies beyond.

The phrase is somewhat redundant since glass is transparent by default—you'd specify frosted glass or tinted glass to indicate otherwise.

Transparent glass appears in technical contexts distinguishing it from translucent or opaque varieties.
