all you need to do is to create proper geometry or bump map/normal bump map to imitate this geometry and play with refraction glossiness parameter

Yes, marchik is right. Best bet is to create it with geometry. You need to create a shape like the attached and extrude. I created it with circles and a rectangle.

the appearance of glass is always going to be pretty heavily dependent on the manner in which it is illuminated, not to mention the reflections. I wouldn't write off the material before you are sure the lighting / reflections are appropriate.
