Duralex Gigogne Tumblers, 16cl, Pack of 6
£5.50
Ex Tax: £4.58
A box of 6 16cl tumblers, or 9cl shot glasses. Teetering on the verge of (and into) bankruptcy for much of the past decade, Duralex has been resurrected once again following a management buyout. Made from pressed glass and tempered using a process developed by Saint-Gobain in 1936, these glasses are chip, shock, and heat resistant, microwave, and dishwasher safe. For these reasons the Gigogne was once ubiquitous throughout institutional canteens - to many they are the archetypal school tumbler, although personally they conjure mouthfuls of rough wine washing down a marvellous aile de raie aux câpres in an earthy fishermans café on the back streets of Yport. Each glass is stamped with a serial number from 1 to 48, for reasons we have yet to discover… (actually its probably so they can quality control the moulds.)
Care Advice
Dishwasher and microwave safe, but not suitable for oven use. Impact resistant.
