glass cups

Transparent drinking containers

Drinking vessels made of glass.

The phrase is somewhat redundant since cups are understood to be containers and glass already implies the material, but it serves to distinguish from ceramic mugs, plastic cups, or paper cups: We need glass cups for the wine tasting.

In casual speech, people often say glasses alone when the cup shape is implied.
