Duralex glasses are beautiful. They have clear “made in France” at the bottom. We bought a few colourful ones back to England when we visited France last year.

    Oh man, so many childhood memories… they are the standard in every single school canteen and kids’ vacation center in France. Unbreakable and unchanged for generations.

    So many traditions around checking your “age” at the bottom of the glass. Usually the “youngest” or “oldest” had to fetch the communal pitcher of water.

    Truly BIFL if you enjoy their retro design.

      Did you had the Duralex Empilable? I’m from Sweden and like in France we have the Duralex Empilable in all schools. I even think the lunch restaurant at my work have them.

        I had to check the names on the website but YES OBVIOUSLY!

        Also the Gigogne is pretty common too.

          I had no idea of the names until I searched for Duralex and found their Swedish website which listed the different models they have. Then I recognized it directly. I don’t remember that I have seen Gigogne before.
