Duralex Picardie Glass Mug

Duralex is an iconic French brand, best known for its durable tempered glassware. The mug shown in the image is part of their classic collection, likely the Picardie or Versailles range, which are staples in European households and cafes. Duralex invented the glass tempering process in 1945, ensuring their products are shock-resistant and thermal-stable.

While the brand faced financial difficulties in recent years, it was acquired by the International Cookware Group (now known as La Maison Française du Verre) in 2021. This group also manages other household brands like Pyrex (under license in EMEA). All Duralex products continue to be manufactured at their historic factory in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin, France, maintaining their heritage and reputation for quality French craftsmanship into 2026 and beyond.
