...the answer is "no" if you're talking DC-voltage, but "yes" if you're talking AC-voltage and using CAPACITIVE COUPLING. Glass can be used as a dielectric media in capacitors, but it's gonna take HIGH-voltage AC to work.
...the dielectric constant ( c ) of two types of glass are:
Glass, crown.............6.2 ±1.0
Glass, flint.............8.5 ±1.5
Mica.....................6.2 ±0.7
Insulation, elec.cable...4.1 ±0.1
Diamond.................15.0 ±0.2
Air......................1.000537 @ 20șC
