create a blinn and turn the transparency up. You can fiddle with other features of the blinn and rendering to make it more realistic.

I would either use a Phong or Antitropic shader for glass. Blinn is not shiny enough and wouldn't really give the desired refelctivity orthe correct specular highlight.

Hmmm... I know what you want to say, but there is a cuple of more things you must do for a realistic looking Glass!
These informations I need from you!
The transparency is needed, but after rendering it is Grey!
Also what must I do that it looks transparent? And not Grey.
The material is the other topic and very importend too.
Please give me a little help on this subject.
