Product Information

Full details

The Duralex Picardie Highball collection is designed for homeowners and professional hospitality staff who prioritize longevity and versatility in their glassware. These tempered glasses provide an exceptional combination of durability and classic French design, standing up to the rigors of high-traffic kitchens with ease. While their iconic ribbed silhouette is aesthetically pleasing and functional for grip, the primary caveat is that the heavy-duty tempered glass is slightly thicker and heavier than delicate crystal alternatives, which may not suit those looking for ultra-thin luxury stemware.

FAQs

Are these glasses truly microwave safe?

Yes, they are manufactured to withstand high temperatures and rapid temperature changes, making them safe for microwave use.

Can I stack these glasses in my cabinet?

Yes, the Picardie design is stackable, which helps save space in smaller kitchens.

Where are these glasses manufactured?

The Duralex Picardie collection is proudly manufactured in France.

What is the total capacity of these glasses?

Each glass in this set has a 500ml capacity.

Is the glass lead-free?

Yes, Duralex glassware is made from tempered soda-lime glass and is completely lead-free and cadmium-free.

Will these glasses shatter like regular glass?

Duralex glass is tempered, meaning it is much harder to break than standard glass. If it does break, it typically shatters into small, less dangerous pieces.

Troubleshooting

Water spots or clouding on the glass surface

Use a rinse aid in your dishwasher or perform a periodic wash with white vinegar to remove mineral buildup.

Glass feels slippery when holding cold drinks

The ridged design is intended to provide a better grip, but ensure the exterior is dried thoroughly before serving to maximize the texture's efficacy.

The glass has developed a crack

Immediately stop using the glass. Tempered glass is designed to break into small pieces rather than shards, but any compromise to the structure necessitates replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable and resistant to mechanical shocks
  • Safe for microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use
  • Classic, versatile aesthetic suitable for any table setting
  • Hygienic non-porous surface prevents staining
  • Large 500ml size is highly versatile for various beverages

Cons

  • Noticeably heavier and thicker than fine crystal glassware
  • Design may feel too casual for formal, high-end fine dining settings
  • The 500ml size takes up more vertical storage space in cabinets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These glasses require no special setup or seasoning. Before first use, a simple wash in warm soapy water is recommended.

Care Instructions:

  • Dishwasher Safe: The non-porous surface makes them highly resistant to clouding, even after repeated dishwasher cycles.
  • Thermal Care: While tempered, avoid placing the glass directly onto a stove burner or under a high-intensity broiler.
  • Storage: The glasses are stackable to a degree, though caution should be used to avoid chipping the rims if nested too tightly. If you notice a star-shaped crack or a chip on the rim, the glass should be retired from service to maintain safety.
