Earl,
A polarizing filter and carefull lighting are the real answer. It is a bit of an art. Another trick used in the movie industry is get a piece of nonfreflective glass used in the framing industry and lay it over the regular glass. I don't know how exactly it is made but I believe the glass is very lightly sand blasted to make the surface like the matte surface on photpgraphic paper. It is pricey, I also saw a matte spray which is water base lightly sprayed onto the glass surface during the filming of a James Bond movie to "kill" the reflections in a curved glass dome, it was remaved afterawards with a damp cloth, available at craft stores I believe the trick is to lay a very light spray down on the suface to stop any "sepage" around the edges of the glass. Well theres a few I will not get into diffusion domes as the expense of this to shot one piece what not be practicle. Go talk to some framers and the craft stores they usualy have some good (and cheap ) tricks.
