Glass is generally accepted as "almost" a fourth class of matter but I can't 
remember what it is called.  My esoteric chemistry is slipping.  Glass is 
neither liquid nor solid because it displays some propeties of both.  Glass 
actually continues to flow throughout its lifespan as evidenced by the 
distortion old window panes.  If this concept has changed in the last 30 
years I am unaware of it.
