Linda, I agree. The best glasses ever. And there's no need to hunt any further. You can purchase them at Le Tom. Just click the green DURALEX sign higher up on the left of this page. Feel free to continue this discussion here »

Hi, I purchased 11 glasses in 2005 with Picardie #11. I love these glasses and would love to find more. Too bad these are hard to find as they are the best glasses ever. I have arthritis in my hands, wrists and shoulders and cannot hold a heavy glass for any length of time. These glasses are not only beautiful and thick in design but light weight even when full. When I first saw them at the store and went to pick them up I was so surprised to find they were not too heavy for me. Thank God for the genius who designed these so long ago. Please let me know if anyone knows where I can purchase them either in the states or outside. Thanks so much. Good hunting!

Hi, We actually produce amber glasses… So you can watch a little part of our production on eBay as pink Picardie, amber picardie and other. But all around the world the Duralex are RARE…

Marie, as Richard explained, Duralex works through a distribution network – importer, distributor, wholesaler, retailer. That sort of thing. I don't believe you can go straight to the manufacturer. As a consumer you can only buy through a retailer, otherwise the supply chain would break down.

As far as I am aware, Duralex is in full production at the factory at La Chapelle Saint Mesmin, owned by Sinan Solmaz.

Darlene, perhaps when the company has completed the rebuilding of its distribution network we will be able to know more about their full range of products, amber glassware included. Promotion of the range to the consumer would normally be done by the manufacturer and the retailers.

Hi, I have a set of 16 full place settings in amber Duralex. They are stamped Duralex France on the bottom of each piece. In all my searching for more pieces I have never come across any info on amber Duralex pieces. Can anyone help or give me any info at all? Does anyone else have any amber Duralex?

Peut être, mais j'ai expliqué la raison dans un email. J'ai aussi écrit à Samira.

Thanks Richard on the company's status. Do you know when Duralex will begin full scale production again? Does Duralex have a new owner or is it still owned by the turkish man? Also I would love to go direct to Duralex France to purchase their glasswear, so who in your opinion who would be the best person for me to contact?

I just received 24 glasses from Le Tom. They are the originals Duralex Picardie, sent via Fed Ex. I am thrilled.
