This set of 6 1970's Cup & Saucers have a stunning sunny amber colour, which plays beautifully with the light. 

Imagine yourself, sitting back and sipping on your tea or coffee whilst watching the day go by.

With a rounded classic design, gentle sloping sides and a cool handle they are a popular and beautiful product. 

Made from heat-tempered glass (verre trempé), they are durable and more impact resistant than normal glass. 

In excellent vintage condition, any lines or tiny bubbles appear to formed during production.

France is the birth place of tempered glass. In 1929, Achille Verlay, who worked for glassmaker St-Gobain (a company founded in 1665 as royal glassmakers to Louis XIV) developed a technique for tempering glass, using a heating oven and cooling jets of air. This company registered the Duralex brand in 1945, and I believe, bought out and took over Vereco.
