When I need an oiler sight glass here in Japan I take my vernier caliper
every where I go, particularly the grocery store and 100 yen shops.  There
are so many glass containers and drinking glasses that it does not take long
to find something with the right OD.  The  thickness might not be the same
as an original but that's hard to detect when it is mounted and full of oil.
After you have cut a couple glasses and learned how, that dimension will be
right on.  Guys over here are making nice looking wine-glass oilers from
vinegar bottles.
