Abstract: A method for manufacturing a hollow glass is provided. The method includes the steps of placing at least one drop of glass in a cavity of a mold, inserting a punch into the cavity of the mold, forming the hollow glass item by using the punch and simultaneously imprinting at least one raised or hollow pattern at a chosen location on an inner surface of at least one wall of the hollow glass item, thereby superimposing the at least one raised or hollow pattern on the shape of the hollow glass item, removing the punch from the cavity of the mold and stripping the hollow glass item, which includes the at least one inner raised and/or hollow pattern. The punch has a body with an end portion, the end portion has an outer side surface. The body includes a raised or hollow pattern on the outer side surface of the end portion. The raised or hollow pattern is independent of the shape of the hollow glass item. A device for manufacturing a hollow glass item is also provided.

Abstract: A method for producing a glass container by: a) providing a forming vessel, and b) providing a forming die comprising an outer surface, c) placing the forming die in the forming vessel, in a forming position, in which a receiving space is defined between the inner surface of the forming vessel and the outer surface of the forming die, a deformable glass gob extending partially into the receiving space, d) cooling the deformed glass gob while keeping the glass gob in the forming position in the forming vessel and the forming die, and then e) retracting the forming die.

Abstract: A device for manufacturing a hollow glass item is provided. The device includes a mold having a cavity with a shape substantially corresponding to the outer shape of the glass item and a punch movable between a passive position outside the cavity and an active position inside the cavity, the punch including a hollow body having at least one raised or hollow pattern on at least one outer surface. A method and a punch are also provided.
