Lys — Duralex

The Lys collection by Duralex brings together plates and salad bowls in clear tempered glass — the tableware version from the Orléans glassmaker. Dinner plate, deep plate, dessert plate, stackable salad bowl: it is the "dinnerware" range from the historic French tempered glass maker.

The Lys specificity

The Lys collection relies on Duralex tempered glass — the same technology that makes the famous Picardie tumblers so resilient. The glass is around twice as resistant as ordinary glass and breaks into small rounded fragments in case of severe impact. Lys applies this know-how to plates and salad bowls that are clear, understated and stackable.

• Duralex tempered glass made in France in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin (Loiret)
• Around twice as resistant as ordinary glass; in case of breakage, rounded fragments
• Stackable pieces, sets of 6 — ideal for everyday and collective use

Choosing within the Lys collection

Why is the Lys collection so popular?

Lys combines Duralex resilience with a clear design that suits any table. It is dinnerware massively used in collective settings, restaurants and canteens — and popular with private customers for the same reason: it lasts and is dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

Are there variants in the Lys collection?

The collection is mainly available in clear glass, in several formats (23.5 cm dinner plate, 19 cm dessert, 21 cm deep, 17 cm salad bowl). Plates are sold in sets of 6; some pieces are also available individually for replacement.

Which piece should I start a Lys service with?

For a complete service, start with the set of 6 23.5 cm dinner plates, then add the 21 cm deep plates (soups, pasta) and the 19 cm dessert plates. The 17 cm stackable salad bowl works for individual salad and side service.

Is the Lys collection dishwasher- and microwave-safe?

Yes, Duralex tempered glass is dishwasher-, microwave- and freezer-safe. It is one of the brand's historic advantages: dinnerware built for intensive daily use without special precautions.
