Curved Transparent Glass

I've seen the workaround to make transparent "glass" using a textbox, but has anyone figured out a way to make curved transparent glass? Like a bowl or cylinder.

  The best I can come up with right now is this:
  
  1. make your object with shiny metal, white color, as a sculpt
  2. open the tweak menu of the object and reduce its opacity so that it is translucent.
  
  it will not be fully transparent but it will be sort of glass-like. keep the fleck tight and not loose.

  Create a sculpt as a base shape, a cylinder for example. Then use the fleck paint tool (paintbrush is probably best), turn on 'surface snap' guide then paint over the surface of the sculpt with relatively tight flecks. Once you're done covering the desired surface you can delete the sculpt and leave the painted flecks. Reduce the opacity of the painted flecks and be sure to give them a shiny finish, you can alter the finish with the style tool after but I find it's best to set it before painting.

  I have done this in my environment called 'Alien Oasis', you should be able to find it with a search.
