Post subject:  Duralex Picardie Glasses
Deb mentioned these on Smitten Kitchen a couple of months ago and I've become a bit obsessed with finding them over the past couple of weeks. Our IKEA glasses that I loved slowly succumbed to the kids rough handling and the set I bought to replace about 8 months ago already have half of the glasses pitched due to chips.
Costco.ca sells the glasses only in a set, but I stumbled upon them on Future Shop's website on sale for the set and they also sell all the individual sizes separately. I placed an order and await the glasses so I can decide what other sizes I need to order.
Really really hoping that these live up to their reputation!

Amazon had them too, although not sure that helps you in Canada.

Yes, the duty and/or shipping charges to here made them too expensive, and Chris didn't want to bring them back on a plane, go figure.
Anyone have these? The weird thing is future shop lists the dimensions (width/height) on their website for the individual glasses but not the volume. WTH? The set of 3 sizes listed them so I know what I'm getting in that and will order more of what I hope are the right glasses once I figure out which are the ones I want. I tried going by the duralex website but am not 100% positive I got it right.

I just bought 8 similar glasses at IKEA, since I forgot to pack water glasses. I think I would like the shorter cocktail glasses too.

Alina, yes, those are the ones. They arrived today and I love them. I went online to see where in Buffalo I can find them since I'm going there for the day tomorrow (Trader Joe's!) and ironically found them on sale at a local department store here. So I'll get them locally, I want more of the 2 smaller sizes.
I found the best price on futureshop.ca last week. But thebay.com has them on sale now.

I went to order the 2 smaller sizes and the department store had raised the price again (for some reason they won`t put an end date of sales on their website, so you roll the dice waiting)
So I didn`t order them and a week later (black Friday) futureshop.ca had the set I bought for $49.99 for $39.99, so I bought another set. And then found the teeny 3 ounce size on the Best Buy website and ordered 2 sets there. A bit big for shot glasses but I`m thinking individual mini desserts or shrimp appetizers. I`ve been told to stop now. :-)
