And the dielectric constant of ionized air is quite small.
Microwave ovens work on the principle of dielectric heating.
The dielectric constant of sapphire seems to be better than glass[1] for this type of application, so it should be okay.
Which is mostly limited by the dielectric constant of the wire's insulator.
Historically the limit on voltage has been the dielectric constant for air.
Personally I'd go all EE on it and shove a modest AC signal thru a big capacitor and get the dielectric constant of the "stuff" in the cup.
Since the dielectric constant is a function of distance, when the breaker first opens there is an arc because, the current really really wants to keep flowing.
