Historically, it was thought that in windows the problem only occurred with green glass, leading to the name ‘green glass disease’, but we now know that is also occurs in other forms of glass. Purple crizzled glass is found in the windows of the nineteenth-century church of St John the Evangelist in the small North Yorkshire hamlet of Howsham.&amp;quot; Merlyn Griffiths ([http://www.yorkglazierstrust.org/ York Glaziers Trust])</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">In the publication 'Conservation and Care of Glass Objects', by Stephen Koob (London, 2006) the process of deterioration is described in a number of stages: Firstly ‘sweating’ or ‘weeping’ caused by the appearance of alkali on the surface as droplets (in higher relative humidity) or as crystals (in lower relative humidity). The glass then becomes cloudy and opaque, as it develops a fine silvery network of cracks, known as ‘incipient crizzling’. The cracks become deeper and the surface of the glass begins to spall away, eventually leading to the fragmenting and disintegrating.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>= Related articles on Designing Buildings =</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>= Related articles on Designing Buildings =</div></td></tr> </table>
