Create a glass replica of something made of plastic (or other material) I found an amazing product online and my only qualm with it was that it came with plastic containers (I try to avoid plastic when dealing with food as much as I can). I asked the company if they plan on making a version using glass but they said no. 

Is there a way that I could create the exact same shape as the original containers (just the bottom part) but out of glass?

If I wanted to do this on my own:


What are techniques I could use?
How/where could I find materials and/or tools?
Are all types of glass "Food Safe"? I know there are different
types of glass for different things.


EDIT:
I personally do not have much experience with glasswork (I blew glass ornaments in a class once) so would you recommend outsourcing this instead?

Is there any difference (besides price) in going to a company with a commission of this kind over going to an individual artist? 

Also: Cost is not an inhibitor to me. I value my health as it is with me all my life, and I can always make more money.
Unless you are familiar with working with hot glass you would be better off seeking an glassworker to do this for you. 

There are a few ways you could replicate the container: different kinds of casting or slumping (heating glass to soften it and letting gravity take over) but they are complicated, involve specialty tools and materials, and 1200°F-2000°F glass. Not something you could do on your own, unless you do glass working. 

That being said there are plenty of glass artists around. Try to find a studio in your area. Art schools would also be a good place to find someone to do this for you. It would be an excellent exercise for a student in the glass dept. 

A web search for "custom glass container manufacturing" has a few hits, but they are about making longer production runs like specialty bottles for a distiller. If money is no object you might convince them to do it.
