I tend to believe that the glass "bowls" and "chalices" were purchased at the local A.C. Moore Craft Store.

Glass? I was under the impression that the Body and Blood are to be in 24k gold, plated at least. I've seen Waterford, but I'm not sure about that. That might not be right, but that's my understanding.

The Precious Blood can be in glass. It is okay.

Okay I think I was mistaken. The precious blood must be in a metal chalice but I have seen priests use glass pitchers from which they pour the wine into the chalice. Which seems fine because it is just wine until it is consecrated.
