Famous Picardie Tumblers are Blushing with Color

Duralex drinkwareThese classic French tumblers in a rainbow of colors are a stylish addition to any table, especially summer alfresco dinners when color rules. The tumbler is made in the classic, often-imitated design that’s a pleasure to hold and that feels comfortable on the lip. Picardie tumblers are now available in the colors collection: red, green, yellow, purple, gray and blue. The colors are sold as sets of six of each color and as a set of mixed colors. With the mixed colors, everyone in the family can have their own color. The sets retail for $36.

These tumblers, like all Picardie glassware, are made in France from tempered glass—a durable, nonporous material that is two-and-a-half times stronger than ordinary glass. Duralex glasses are stackable and safe—if broken, they shatter into small chunks rather than jagged shards—and are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. Picardie glasses are recognized throughout France, and remain the icon of French taverns, bistros and inns, as all Frenchmen and Frenchwomen grew up with Picardie glasses in their homes, school cafeterias and restaurants. They are used for coffee, tea, wine, cocktails and as all-purpose drinking glasses.
