Well, this was similar to the way I was thinking. However my suggestion is
to just go get a glass tumbler, perhaps you can even find one that looks
period, and then mark it. You could even use a period method of etching
or scribing to do it. Although I doubt they scribed graduated lines on
their glass as a measuring utensil. You might though be able to disguise
the measuring lines as part of more extensive artwork.

For more on the period glass etching and scribing, check this file in the
