Mold for manufacturing glass containers such as salad has at least one through hole through their walls with three distinct parts; a die defining the outer shape of the container adapted to receive a gob of glass in a plastic state; a plunger, the inner shape of the container to be molded; and a closing ring. The three parts are pressed onto one another to cause pressing and expansion of the glass gob in the cavity of the mold. The die has a monolithic construction of one piece, and the closing ring and the one-piece die have at least one protruding portion defining the shape of the through hole to be molded and formed in the container.
