You can buy them from websites in the UK and Australia, but the shipping costs are very prohibitive. Has anyone seen any for sale in the US? I have been looking for Duralex Prisme glasses in the US.

The <a href="/12">previous discussion</a> explains why they very occasionally break (or shatter). People purchase them because they are a design classic dating back to the 1930s and because they are safer and more durable than normal glassware.

Are you all just ignoring the posts about exploding glass? My large duralex glass exploded in my hand sending bits of glass everywhere ...... including my face, eyes and arms! It was painful, bloody and nearly blinding. I looked like I was beaten! I had bruising from the impact and had to have bits if glass removed from every exposed part of me! There should be a lawsuit!

I can't remember which sizes right now because I threw out the box, sorry...pretty much a large one, regular one, and decent sized small one--not the smallest available. And all for under $30...made me very happy since I had been eying the set available at WS :) I was at Costco maybe a week ago and saw a set of 18 Picardie, 6 each of three sizes.

I foolishly decided to keep my set (I have the full 24 pieces) because I loved them so much. I had the same thing happen again yesterday. I was covered in glass shards when I barely touched two together as I was putting them away. The pieces flew all over my kitchen and throughout my dishwasher. I can't stop thinking about my children. They could have been blinded if they had been nearby. DON'T BUY THESE! I had two of my picardie glasses explode as I was unloading the dishwasher a while back.

I was going to get my mom a set for Christmas, but kind of doubt it now. Who would ever think glass would just self explode? It has to be how they make the "unbreakable" glass. I would be worrying about that every time I took a drink out of it. These explosion stories are scary. I was going to get my mom a set for Christmas, but kind of doubt it now.

We as a family use these glasses every day. I had one explode in my hand last month and one in the dishwasher today. I have three children and fear one may explode in their face so I think I will be replacing them as soon as possible. I do believe there is a flaw in the manufacture and I think they are dangerous after reading these posts even though mine are not Duralex. hello,
