Potassium isn't made in glassware, the glass is soaked in potassium hydroxide to remove dirt or clean the glass. When the glass is soaked, the potassium hydroxide dissolves a small layer of silica.

Well, if it's never been used or it's totally clean, there is no reason why you can't eat or drink out of laboratory glassware. If the glassware is contaminated with chemicals, it is, however, absolutely inadvisable to do so!
If it is laboratory glassware, you want to avoid contamination. Bacteria or chemicals left on the glassware could react and give an inaccurate result.
The proper method that should be used to clean glassware is to rinse it between three to four times with deionized water. If it requires scrubbing then use hot soapy water and a brush to clean and then rinse with water before rinsing again with deionized water.

* Broken glass must be disposed of into specially designated bins and not into the normal waste bins. * Detergents are the normal means of cleaning glassware. More drastic methods such as the use of chromic acid should be used only when cleaning with detergents or solvents is inadequate and should be covered by a separate Risk Assessment. Beware of fire risk if using solvents to clean or dry. * Glass must never be stored on the floor. * Hot glassware should not be placed directly on bench, or it will break.

A chemist might go through the following procedure. Clean with soapy water then try ethanol, then maybe acetone, perhaps dilute acid or base. After that the glassware might be accidently broken.

If the glassware isn't clean, the chemicals remaining on the glassware may react violently with the next chemicals that you use.
