In what universe is it a cup of glass and not a glass cup, or more simply, a glass (of water)
A glass of water is an absurd notion. If you tried to make glass out of water you would just evaporate the water. It would never solidify into glass.
You are of course correct; the simple term should be, a glass of 72% silica, 15% soda, 10% lime, and 3% other impurities.
