Abstract: Disclosed is a method of pressing glass articles, especially feet of glasses with integrally formed stems, by pressing a portion of a glass lump or parison into a mold having the (internal) contour of the glass article to be formed, with the other portion of the parison being left behind outside of the mold, and wherein the glass article is subsequently separated from the remaining part of the parison which comprises cutting off the still plastified connecting strand or core between the remaining part of the parison and the glass article, following the pressing operation, directly at the glass article, and removing the strand lug or protrusion left on the glass article, after removal of said glass article from the mold.
