A glass container (10, 110, 210, 310) and related methods of manufacturing a glass container. A solution having a composition including a silane, a solvent, a catalyst, and water, is applied to an exterior glass surface of the glass container, at a temperature between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius, such that the solution at least partially fills the surface imperfections. The glass container is heated at a temperature greater than 500 degrees Celsius to produce Si-O-Si bonds with the exterior glass surface of the glass container to result in a coating (15, 315) having between 10% and 20% silicate-based material by weight. |
