Abstract

A glass container is characterized by a longitudinal axis (Ltube) that passes through a center of a glass bottom of the glass container. For any cut surface of the glass container that is obtainable by cutting the glass container in a plane that includes the longitudinal axis Ltube, a minimum thickness (smin) and a maximum thickness (smax) of the glass bottom determined at any position having a distance d1/4 or less to the longitudinal axis Ltube and a thickness (sd1/4) is the thickness of the glass bottom determined at a position having the distance d1/4 to the longitudinal axis Ltube, the distance to the longitudinal axis Ltube in each case being determined in a direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Ltube and thicknesses smin, smax and sd1/4 being determined in a direction that is parallel to longitudinal axis Ltube, with smax/smin being less than 1.8.
