ANSWER:
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
Glasses and mugs are generally used in such a way that is not deemed disrespectful. Hence, one can use them as long as one exercises due care and is not disrespectful.
However, it would be best to avoid obtaining them altogether, as there is still a chance of disrespect, such as if they break.
And Allah, the Almighty, knows best
