For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Although it is technically a supercooled liquid (it has no grain structure and is perfctly elastic up to fracture), but it does not flow. Old glass can sometimes be thick at one end than the other, but this can occur at the top and side of a pane of glass, not just at the bottom. This is because of how the glass was made, rather than the fact that it 'flows'.
