Known as “the original French tumblers”, Picardie tumblers are functional, stylish and feel comfortable in the hand
Named after the Picardie province in Northern France (the heartland of French gothic cathedrals). The Picardie glasses are still Duralex’s best-selling tumblers today. The Picardie has been hailed as one of the Top 20 Designs that Defined the Modern World (by CNN Style).
This soothing amber Picardie Tumbler is a contemporary design that takes on tough, tempered glassware for the bar and table. The combination of durability and style means they are perfect for a busy drinks service environment. Their impressive sturdiness and temperature resistance mean they are a versatile serving option for everything from cocktails to coffee.
