Reference information:
Voilà les verres creux :

and hollow glasses
http://www.google.de/search?q=hollow glass&hl=de&biw=1010&bi...

Isn't it nice?

Now a definition:
Les verres creux définissent tous les produits verriers ayant une forme non plane.
Gobeleterie, tubes de laboratoire, récipients, etc...)
Ils peuvent néanmoins être produits à partir d'un verre plat (exemple : verre bombé)
