Abstract: A hollow glass article is a container or part of a vessel having a neck or shoulder region and a wall. The glass article encompasses the wall and the neck or shoulder region of the container. The wall has a round or oval cross section and the container has a characteristic surface region on an outer glass surface of the hollow glass article. The following applies for a ratio between a mean tangential gradient value and a mean axial gradient value in the characteristic surface region: mean tangential gradient value/mean axial gradient value <0.6.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing a glass workpiece includes: a device configured to heat a glass until it softens; an inner molding tool configured to mold inner lateral surfaces of the workpiece; an outer molding tool configured to mold outer lateral surfaces of the workpiece, the outer molding tool having a shaping roller with a shaping surface; an accommodating device configured to accommodate the shaping roller, the shaping roller being mounted in a freely rotatable manner in the accommodating device and is fixable during a shaping process by a lockable locking device, the shaping roller being locked with a releasable connection such that the shaping roller can be released and rotated through an angle ? in the locking device between individual shaping processes; and an apparatus configured to apply a lubricating oil to the shaping surface of the shaping roller and having an outlet opening configured to dispense the lubricating oil.
