Overview

This work includes a complete chemical examination of the causes of the deterioration of glass and discusses the possibilities of damage by conservation techniques that have not been fully tested. It provides the theoretical background and the practical procedures used in conserving different kinds of glass. Since the 1960s there has been an upsurge of interest in the conservation of glass, and especially of painted (stained) glass, with a change in emphasis from the work being carried out by museum technicians to the use of trained conservators. This book supplies information on the techniques for conserving painted glass, vessel glass and waterlogged glass.
