glass cup

Transparent drinking container

A glass cup is a drinking vessel made of glass rather than ceramic, metal, or plastic.

The term is somewhat redundant since cup already implies a drinking container, but it specifies the material: She poured the juice into a glass cup.

In everyday speech, such vessels are more often called simply glasses.
