  • glass (usually, uncountable) An amorphous solid, often transparent substance, usually made by melting silica sand with various additives (for most purposes, a mixture of soda, potash and lime is added).
  • glass (countable) A vessel from which one drinks, especially one made of glass, plastic, or similar translucent or semi-translucent material.
