Have you ever made a hollow bead? It's the exact same method, you just make it at the end of the mandrel, sealing off the tip with glass to form the bottom. I also make a wider "bead" at the other end to act as the neck of the vessel. If you haven't made a hollow bead before I'm sure there are probably some great tuts (better than I can give on a Monday afternoon) with pics somewhere on here.
