Duralex Picardie glass

Hi guys,
this week I've acquired a realy cheap Skyfall prop. The glass at the scorpion bar, from which Bond has taken his drink with the scorpion on his hand is a Picardie (22 cl or 25 cl) from the french manufacturer Duralex.

On the following screenshot (from "shadow of reflection“) you can only guess that it is a Duralex glass, but you can see and read the brand very good on the Skyfall blu-ray.
You can find this glass in some well-graded hardware stores or in liquor stores near you and of course at amazon or ebay for approx. § 20 for a set of six.

But the difference in the height are only 6 mm (0,24") between the 25 cl and the 22 cl glass. Therefore it is difficult to say without knowing how big Daniel Craig's hands are.
Here is an exemplary link to one offer at amazon.com:

Tiffany Case: And which do you prefer?
James Bond: Well, as long as the collars and cuffs match...

Interestingly, these were the glasses that my family had when I was a little kid! Both the style used in SF, and the taller version as well.
and they sell realistic yellow rubber scorpions in Hamleys ?
My Nan had a set when I was a kid

so shouldnt be to hard to get hold of for once
even written about in the official Duralex brochure

then click on download the brochure
PICARDIE, THE TIMELESS STAR !
Its unique shape, sensual curves that fit perfectly in the hand, its facets that ideally catch the light, its hemmed lips that blossom out: here is Picardie... There is little left to say about this timeless star, which has nevertheless remained so simple. Its incredible success from the day of its launch in 1954 immediately gave it an iconic status.
It has starred in countless films, from post-war classics to the New Wave and not forgetting major Hollywood blockbusters. Even Daniel Craig in Skyfall, the latest James Bond movie, gives in to its French charm. For Americans, it has simply become, “The Original French Tumbler”.
Liked them so much and they looked robust i just ordered the largest size as well.
Funny thing is now I have them I realised I have seen them everywhere in the UK and abroad - memo to self must pick up some spares next time I see them out and about B-)
Cheers!
By the way, I've narrowed the scorpion down to a few species:
*Nymphalis polychloros
*Carcharodon carcharias
*Pterois volitans
Please excuse me if my latin is not up to speed
but isnt cacharodon carcharias a great white shark old man ?
but ive taken the liberty to look up the other 2 mentioned species
1 is a butterfly and 3 is the famous lion fish aka scorpion fish
was your Ato Z of animals written by pan troglodytes ?
sorry to go on but ive got the bug now pardon the pun
but the scorpion in the bar scene looks to be a death stalker/palestine scorpion
yes its poisonous but i doubt it would kill Bond, me a 50 year old kebab chompin cigar puffin
brandy swillin fatty more than likely and yes the do live in Turkey,
yours in freindship a ex breeder of serrasalmus nattereri
*Nymphalis polychloros OHMSS
*Carcharodon carcharias LTK
*Pterois volitans TSWLM
I believe the term is irony, or is that what I need to get the missus performing tonight
