This is a clear green glass vase, new to me from the auction, that I was washing in my usual way - warm water with a little Ecover washing liquid. I noticed that it seemed to be going slightly cloudy on the outside (the inside wasn't in water), so I thought to leave it in the water a bit longer. After half an hour this is how it turned out. The clear green part was always out of the water. The rest is covered in this whiteish/pale green stuff that will scrub off without damaging the glass, but it needs steel wool to move it.
I don't think it's at all valuable and I'm not sure it's worth the effort of cleaning, but I'm curious about what has happened. I've read previous threads about water damage but none of it seems to cover such fast, almost instantaneous change. Any info appreciated.
