Angry look has fool point to fragile items (9)

I believe the answer is:

glassware

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fragile items' is the definition.
'glassware' can be an answer for 'items' (I have seen 'Vitreous items ' mean 'glassware' so perhaps 'items' could also mean 'glassware'). I'm unsure of the 'fragile' bit.

'angry look has fool point' is the wordplay.
'angry look' becomes 'glare' (I've seen this before).
'has' is an insertion indicator.
'fool' becomes 'ass' (both can mean a stupid person).
'point' becomes 'W' (West).
'ass'+'w'='assw'
'glare' enclosing 'assw' is 'GLASSWARE'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glassware that I've seen before include "Retorts, for example" , "it might be crystal" , "one can see through" , "Vitreous items" .)
