Duralex Picardie tumbler glass

The Duralex Picardie is one of the most iconic glass designs in history, often referred to as the 'ultimate glass' by designers and hospitality professionals. Characterized by its unique faceted shape and extreme durability, it has become a staple in cafes, schools, and homes worldwide since its introduction in the mid-20th century.

Constructed from tempered glass through a process pioneered by the company, these glasses are highly resistant to impact and thermal shock. While many glass designs are outsourced to various regions, Duralex maintains a commitment to its heritage, with the vast majority of its authentic Picardie line manufactured directly in its historic factory in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin, France.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned through several hands in recent years following financial challenges. Today, the brand is owned by La Maison Française du Verre, a group that also controls the Pyrex brand (under license in EMEA), ensuring the brand remains under French industrial leadership.
