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 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.
