Apparently the clear glass receptacles we mostly see are automatically produced whenever we use CUL to craft a cup of chamomile tea or a pitcher of orange juice. Or when we use MIN to collect Abalathian Spring Water or such.

The closest thing to a model with clear glass is the Chilled Red housing item, which has tinted glass bottles of the titular chilled red wine. Oddly, while crafting it requires a silver ingot for the cooler itself, the wine bottles again are provided gratis, with the only possible source of glass in the recipe being the pitchers the grape and orange juices are in. Which, again, appear out of nowhere.

(Every other liquid-bearing container for housing items are ceramic.)
