Love These French Manufactured Glasses
For more than half a century, I have held these fine Duralex glasses in my hands, their steadfastness a quiet companion to my daily rituals. Never once have I seen them betray their form, bursting into shards as some have claimed. No, these glasses, handsome and radiant with a clarity that catches the light just so, remain as true as the first day. They fit in the hand as if they belong there, familiar and reassuring, an emblem of all that is enduring and good.

Very hardy glasses. Dishwasher safe, thick lip on glass for easy drinking. Stackable. Design hold like glue in your hand.

Love these glasses
Some people complained about the glasses shattering when they break—but as seen in many reviews, they are much more durable than other glassware. I love the look and that they stack! I’m thrilled with these.

Durable. These things don’t break easily.
I’ve broken a decent number of glasses over the years in various entertaining ways â dropping them, banging them on the edge of a counter, random cracking in the dishwasher, etc. So about eight years ago, I bought a set of these to supplement my large glass collection, which had started to get rather sparse.Eight years later, I ordered a second set because these are just about the only large glasses I have left. All six of the original set are still intact. They’ve been dropped so many times that I’ve lost count, and they get banged into things just as often as the other drinking glasses did. The difference is that these don’t shatter into a thousand pieces when that happens. They don’t even chip or crack. They just sit there looking at you as though they were saying “What the heck was that for?”They’re also heavy enough that they don’t get knocked over easily, which likely contributes to their longevity.I’m really not sure why Amazon doesn’t let us rate the glasses’ longevity or durability, because that’s pretty much the first thing I look for when deciding what kind of drinking glasses to buy, so I guess the best I can do is call them “easy to clean” â as in they don’t shatter on their own in the dishwasher. ð Either way, these glasses are great for people who are tired of cleaning up tiny shards of glass in their kitchen every few months.

Too Dangerous – Throwing It Away
I requested a few sets of Duralex glasses on my wedding registry two years ago because I liked the look of these glasses and was attracted to the âstronger than regular glassâ advertisement. In the short run, these glasses worked well and my family enjoyed them.At some point we broke a glass, knocking it into the sink. It broke into MANY pieces, and not just cubes or chunks but also MANY tiny pieces that required even more careful cleaning than normal. At this point, I was a little disappointed it broke because I thought it should have survived, but a normal glass would break in this case also.The next time we broke a glass, my wife was putting them back into the cupboard and knocked the glass against the edge of the cupboard. It also broke into MANY pieces, but we have never broken a normal glass this way before. We figured it was just a fluke, it must have hit just in the right way.The third time we broke a glass, it rolled out of my hand while I was washing it in the sink and dropped about 1-2 inches onto some bakeware and EXPLODED into MANY pieces. I say exploded because glass in the sink made it up 3-4 inches above the lip of the sink and scattered around it. There were even more tiny shards than I have seen before and I spent close to an hour cleaning it all up.On searching the internet I found that âexploding Duralexâ is a thing, and that it has even happened to some people while they are holding onto a glass without dropping it (in rare occasions).I am going to throw all these glasses into the trash tomorrow because I canât trust then and the clean up has been worse than normal glasses. It is a huge disappointment because I bought these glasses to be safer for my family and they are more dangerous than normal glass. I would recommend avoiding this product as it does not seem nearly as consistent as the tempered glass we are used to in cars.

Wish I had seen these years ago. Lovely colour and so tough – great with children and somewhat clumsy parents. The shaped sides make it easier for little hands to hold and they are perfect for mealtimes.
