The possessive singular of all English nouns, regardless of spelling, is formed by the addition of -'s: glass's. Possessive singulars are pronounced as if they were simple plurals in -s, so that glass's is pronounced exactly like glasses.

============================================================

Many people will add 's to words that end in -s, it is not always correct and never correct for words ending in -ss. The general rule is that only an apostrophe is added to words ending in -s, -z or -x. Again, for plural words ending in -s just add the apostrophe.

-'s is normally only added to words that end in -s where the -s is silent, e.g.

Arkansas's new Governor; Illinois's former Governor; the Marine Corps's policy.
