Ah, you can get actual glass glasses, but typically only for unusual prescriptions.

And you can absolutely buy linen linens. They aren't even hard to find, just more expensive.

Same with silverware, only way more expensive.

I've had glass glasses in middle school. Because my vision differs heavily on both eyes (left lens wasn't even a lens, just a piece of flat glass), it was constantly skewed under the weight of the thicker lens.
