Transparent and reflective objects are some of the most challenging photographic subjects.
The trick is all in the lighting. With these kinds of subjects, you are mostly concerned about the reflections and the highlights (speculars) as these are going to be the most dominant elements of the photograph.
One way to light glass is with a softbox very close to the subject - the closer and softer (more diffuse) the light source, the less contrast there will be between the specular highlights and the midtones. If you don't have strobes and a softbox, hang a white sheet just out of frame and shine a bright light (like a halogen work light) on it from a few feet away. Beware of fire hazards when working with hot lights!
Another technique to try is light painting: stop your camera all the way down and turn it to the lowest ISO setting and put it on a tripod. In a darkened room, shine a flashlight from multiple angles, not staying in one place for very long. If you've never done light painting before, a lot of trial and error will be required.
A tripod or other stable support is a must. Use the self-timer or a cable release to eliminate vibration.
A dark, non-reflective background will probably give you the best results.
