The word glass in this case isn't necessarily referring to the material glass, but instead referring to a small, handheld vessel for drinks, or a cup. Things that are usually, if not always made of glass have often been referred to as a "glass". For instance, a mirror may sometimes, but not very often, be referred to as a glass. With glass cups, and goblets the name "glass" stuck and became the definitive name for anything with that shape for the purpose of holding drinks. When one of these is made of plastic, it can be referred to as a "plastic glass", especially if the plastic is designed to visually replicate glass.
