Yippee! I just found out that my favorite all purpose glass tumblers are back in production. Duralex is a French company that has been making my favorite glass tumblers, the Picardie tumbler, for a long time. They are the iconic glass of French bistros and are prized for their durability and style. They are a favorite of mine for several reasons; they are made out of tempered glass making them very durable, they have a nice weight to them when you hold them (also my thumb fits into the side groove perfectly for a good grip- weird how that makes me excited), and I'm a sucker for the classic French bistro design. Duralex went bankrupt last year and the Picardie glasses were going for a fortune on ebay but thankfully they are back in production and you can buy them at Williams-Sonoma and other big retailers. World Market is selling them for the best price; a set of 4 12.75 oz glasses will run you $11.96- pretty good deal huh? I'm going to go ahead and stock up on some more glasses-we can never have enough in our home.
