  Antique Glass And Glass Treasures
Pressed glass slippers probably were the most plentiful a century ago and hence the most likely still to be found.
Simple round or square saltcellars of pressed glass were made through the early 1900's-some with diamondpoint sides, or perhaps only crosshatching on the base of square ones, or a plain star on the base of round ones.
The glass disk, which was made with a hole in the center, slipped onto the end of a 3-inch metal rod and was held in place by a small knob that screwed onto the end of the rod.

 Ballet Instructor's Newsletter (8-27-03): Cinderella Complex
In the English version, a translation of Perrault’s Cendrillon, the glass slipper which she drops on the palace stairs is due to a mistranslation of pantoufle en vair (a fur slipper), mistaken for en verre.
If the slippers were meant to be made of glass, then Paul Delarue would contend that the wearing of glass shoes is equated with being a virgin, its fragility as exemplified in Jewish wedding ritual where the groom crushes a glass under his foot—for good luck (Dundes: 111).
Further, he questioned whether the glass slippers were actually part of the original story and emphasized that France is the only country that has glass slippers as the main part of the fairytale.

  Cinderella's slippers were made of fur in the original versions of the fairy tale, but they became glass slippers in later versions as the result of a mistranslation.
Finally, the glass slipper is peculiar to Perrault's telling of the story, which is one of the world's best-known and most widely distributed folktales.
The glass slipper, then, along with the use of the witching hour of midnight as the moment at which the heroine's finery will disappear, seems to be one of Perrault's own contributions to the Cinderella story.

 eBay Guides - GLASS SHOES AND SLIPPERS Not a Cinderella Story
The purpose of this guide is to introduce the glass shoe collector to some common terms associated with glass slippers, shoes and boots and to discuss the pieces available on eBay from three of the most common art glass manufacturers today: Fenton, Boyd, and Mosser.
Frosted glass is glass that has a surface treatment which removes the glossy shine and leaves a matte finish with an appearance similar to that on a frosty cold glass mug of root bear.
Boyd has two distinct slipper designs prevalent on eBay: one being the cat slipper (which is very similar to Fenton's Queen slipper) and the other being the bow slipper.

Ruff pulls a fist-sized ball of molten glass out of the bright furnace and blows through the pipe to make a bubble appear inside the reddish glob before he starts to spin it.

 SoMa Literary Review - The Glass Slippers
And that’s how she noticed them, sparkling from the bottom shelf behind the store window that she was walking past at that very moment: two identical glass slippers, both sending multi-colored rays into all directions as they refracted the light.
Gingerly, she slid her foot into the glass slipper and felt the cool, smooth surface caress her sole.
And what she had wished for when she stood in the store was not the slippers, for that would have been too frivolous a thing to waste a wish on.

I bought these slippers after reading these reviews, thinking "they are really cute, how bad can they smell?"
