French bistro glass
General Information
Under tension
Tempered glass, like these jars, is usually rather thick-walled and owes its stability to the tension created between the layers of glass - the outer and inner shell of the jar - during the manufacturing process. If it were to shatter, it would only break into thousands of small, almost blunt fragments that pose little risk of injury.
Duralex. Utility glass made from tempered glass since 1939
Duralex in central France has been producing utility glass from tempered glass for over 80 years. The process of heating glass - to around 600 °C - and cooling it quickly in an annealing lehr to make it less sensitive to impact and at the same time heat-resistant has since been mastered by others. However, hardly any glass has achieved such worldwide fame as the bistro glass from the "Picardie" series, which has long been an integral part of French pubs.
Note:
Tempered glass is considered impact-resistant and break-proof. Nevertheless, you should handle these drinking glasses with the same care as any other "normal" glass. Tempered glass is under tension so that the glasses are also suitable for hot drinks. Microscopic cracks in the material - caused by impacts or knocks, for example during the cleaning process in the dishwasher - or material fatigue due to ageing can lead to the stress ratios becoming unbalanced and the glass breaking.
