Abstract

Samples of wet 13th-14th c. Grisaille window glass, visually sorted according to their extent of corrosion, were examined for physical changes while air-drying and solvent-drying. Polished cross-sections of the samples were examined with a JEOL-35CF SEM with a LINK AN 10,000 dispersive x-ray analyzer. Elemental distribution maps showed distinct alterations in the positioning of elements according to the corroded nature of the glass.
