Morphology

glasser = glass (transparent) = glass + er

This is a regular agent noun meaning a person associated with glass, so the meaning follows directly from the base word plus '-er'.

Etymology

Glasser comes from the simple parts glass + -er, where glass is the material and -er means 'someone who does'. Think of a glassblower: a glasser is 'one who makes glass objects' by shaping hot glass into vases and bowls, so the word means a person who creates things from glass.
