Product Description
The Duralex Gigogne is a stackable tempered glass hi-ball suitable for everyday commercial service. The curved profile and embossed banding give it a clean, classic appearance that works equally well for water, juice, soft drinks, and cocktails. It holds 360ml, making it a practical all-round size for table service and counter use alike.
Tempered glass is a sensible choice in high-turnover environments. Duralex's tempering process produces glass that is meaningfully harder-wearing than standard soda-lime glassware, and if a glass does break, it tends to fragment into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards — a relevant safety consideration in any busy kitchen or bar area. The Gigogne also tolerates the thermal cycling of commercial dishwasher use reliably, which matters when glasses are going through the machine multiple times a day during service.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical benefits are:
- Stackable design reduces storage footprint and speeds up mise en place
- Dishwasher safe — handles repeated commercial wash cycles without issue
- Tempered construction resists chipping better than standard glassware
- Suitable for both hot and cold beverages, giving flexible menu use
- 48-unit pack quantity supports a full section without frequent restocking
The main consideration is volume. For high-turnover bars or large-format venues running multiple sittings, a 48-pack may form one part of a larger glassware holding rather than covering all requirements on its own. It is worth thinking through par levels before ordering.
These glasses are well suited to cafés, casual dining restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and pub food operations where a reliable, presentable everyday hi-ball is needed in quantity. If you are equipping a site and want guidance on quantities or glassware mix, the team is happy to help you work it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- They are well suited to busy service, but for a high-volume bar you would typically want a holding stock that exceeds your cover count to allow for glasses in use, in the wash, and in reserve. A 48-pack is a practical starting quantity, but most operators at volume will order multiple packs to maintain a workable par level throughout the day.
- Tempered glass is more resistant to the thermal shock of commercial glasswashers than standard glassware, making it a practical choice where glasses are cycled through the machine several times per service. Duralex's tempering process is designed with this kind of repeated use in mind, though as with all glassware, chipping at the rim over time is normal with heavy daily use.
- Yes — the tempered glass tolerates a wide temperature range, so they can be used for hot beverages as well as cold service. That said, for dedicated hot drinks service many operators prefer glassware with a handle; these are best thought of as a flexible all-round hi-ball rather than a specialist hot drinks glass.
