    Abstract: Methods for producing localized crystallization in a glass article may include depositing a nucleation catalyst onto at least a portion of a surface of the glass article to form an at least partially coated surface. The nucleation catalyst may be in a solution or in a slurry. The method may include heating the glass article to a nucleation temperature and holding the glass article at the nucleation temperature to form a locally crystallized glass article comprising a crystalline phase and a non-crystalline phase. One or more portions of the locally crystallized glass article adjacent to the nucleation catalyst may include the crystalline phase and a remainder of the locally crystallized glass article may include the non-crystalline phase. The method may also include cooling the locally crystallized glass article.
