Do a cross section of the glass using spline and then "rotate" it as:
mesh using Ingo's macros ( http://members.home.nl/seedseven/#lathe ) or
isosurface using IsoCSG (
http://www-public.tu-bs.de/~y0013390/pov/ic/docu02.html#Shaped_Torus )
Both are pretty well documented. In case of isosurface you need to make a
function over one component of given spline.
