I'm not sure whether they're still operating, but the British firm of Dixon
Glass were manufacturing large glass cylinders with ground glass stoppers
quite recently. They're not cheap, but are very high quality. I believe
they also produced cheaper cylinders with ground glass flanges that were
capped with a glass plate. It may be worth someone contacting them -
