Exactly how much is "one glass", in Russian recipes?
Hello dennismv and welcome to Seasoned Advice! This  page  gives information and history on the faceted glass, so popular in Russia.



From what I could glean from other sites your measurements are correct. For use in recipes you would fill to the top of the facets or, as you say, the natural edge. This would be 200 ml. 

**EDIT

Update -- The recipe below, found  here , translates 1 glāze (glass) to 1 cup. I found the same to be true in many other recipes.
