“glass” in Japanese
Japanese	Romanization (Wiktionary)	IPA
グラス	gurasu	[ɡɯ̟ɾa̠sɨ] (narrow)
コップ	koppu	[ko̞p̚pɯ̟] (narrow)

Both terms refer to a drinking vessel, such as a cup, chalice or goblet.

gurasu

The word コップ comes from the Dutch word 'kop', making it a linguistic relative of the English 'cup' through a completely different European route.
Japanese distinguishes between the English loanword グラス and the word コップ based on the material, where グラス almost always implies a transparent glass vessel, while コップ can refer to plastic or ceramic mugs.
While コップ and カップ both stem from the same root, コップ is typically used for a glass or tumbler, while カップ usually refers to a handled teacup or coffee cup.
