Hels, I never expected a reader would focus on my plates, but now I see what you mean. I googled and had to laugh, finding that "Vintage Duralex France Amber Glass Plates" are selling on e-Bay for big bucks. Oi, how funny! Indeed, I am still eating from these durable plates that were already who knows how old when I entered my late husband's family in 1968. As you say, they have proven to be childproof. I never saw a plate break in almost half a century. The clear Duralex cups and glasses yes; they would shatter on the floor into a million "diamonds."
Oohhh I just had a flashback to my mother's kitchen. She had those toughened glass plates for decades - always kosher and largely childproof.
ReplyDeleteCurious!

ReplyDeleteJerry Beuterbaugh, thanks, but I really don't want my blog's header or even title listed.

ReplyDeleteSandi, LOL!!
ReplyDeleteKay, there is some kind of cut of beef called a false fillet. My late MIL always said it the Yiddish way, falsch fillet.
