Amorphous

A solid state in which atoms or molecules lack the long-range order found in crystals. Glass is a common example, and amorphous materials can have distinct optical and mechanical properties.
Old cathedral glass panes are not thicker at the bottom because glass flowed like a Liquid. Glass is an Amorphous Solid, and visible sagging would take absurdly long. The uneven thickness is better explained by old manufacturing and installation practices.
