Supreme vs. Original
Original — Duralex
Versailles Stackable Glass Mug (Set of 6)
About the original
The Duralex Versailles is an 8.75-ounce stackable tempered glass mug with a round handle, produced at Duralex's factory in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin in the Loiret department of central France. Duralex, founded in 1945 as a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, invented the industrial glass tempering process; its tempered glass is up to 2.5 times stronger than conventional glass, handles temperatures from minus 4 to 266 degrees Fahrenheit, and breaks into small dull pieces rather than shards. The Versailles and its sibling Picardie tumbler have been standard issue in French school cafeterias and bistros for decades. The SS23 Supreme collab keeps the same French-made mug and adds a laser-etched Supreme box logo on the side of each piece. The set of 6 retailed for $58.
About Duralex
Duralex is a French tempered glassware manufacturer founded in 1945 in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin, near Orleans, as part of the Saint-Gobain group. The company commercialized tempered soda-lime glass tableware and released its first product, the stackable Gigogne tumbler, in 1946. The Picardie, introduced in 1954, became its signature design and a standard in French school canteens, bistros, and cafeterias. The glass resists thermal shock up to 130 degrees Celsius and shatters into small blunt fragments rather than shards. Supreme's collaboration applied its logo to a set of Picardie tumblers produced in France.
