Only if you get it real hot, then put a non-melting straw in it and blow. I swear it works, I saw it in some park at a glass blower's shop.
You bet it expands.

Does glass expand with heat?
Yes glass does expand a little with heat but it contacts more when cold and can crack if not carefully watched.
Does glass break or crack with temperature changes?
When temperatures changes this can cause the molecules in an object to contract [ at low temperatures ] or to expand [ high temperatures ] . Glass is a fragile object and if the molecules in glass contract or expand quickly this can cause the glass to break . [SRM] .
Why does a glass tumbler crack when you suddenly pour hot tea into it?
When we pour very hot water into an empty glass, the inner surface of the glass will expand as matter expands when heated. But the inner surface of the glass will expand more than the outer surface of the glass because more heat is applied to the inner surface of the glass.
Does glass expand or contract when heated?
Glass definitely contracts when cooled. If you take a hot glass bottle, perhaps one that has been sitting by a campfire, and toss it into cold water, perhaps a nearby river, you will almost certainly find that the glass fractures as the surface in contact with the cold water tries to contract while the inner glass that is still hot does not.
Why is hot water poured to a drinking glass more likely to break the glass?
The hot water will increase the temperature of the glass and cause the inside of the gas to expand faster than the outside.This will exert a force on the glass and the glass may crack.

Does the glass tube in a fire sprinkler expand more or less than the liquid inside the tube?
The contents of the glass envelope expand and break the envelope. That allows the valve to open and release the water. The contents expand more than the tube.
How does a liquid in a glass thermometer?
the heat makes it expand you see
Why does water in a glass tube contracts first then expand when heated?
glass is a bad counductor of heat, so at first the glass flasks expands and its volume inside increases. the liquid which has not started to expand yet, drops to fill the extra volume inside
