By putting a hot glass into cold water, you are forcing it to shrink faster on the surface than inside the walls of the tumbler. ... SO the outside of the glass remains large and the inside shrinks causing a shear in opposite directions on the glass surfaces, It can and will cause the brittle glass to fracture and fail.
