Ikea cuts price for cult glass: Ivrig now €0.99 — a tip for anyone in Mallorca

Ikea cuts price for cult glass: Ivrig now €0.99 in Palma

On a mild morning in Palma, when delivery vans at the industrial area near the Ikea exit quietly honk and furniture bags move across the parking lot, a piece of news like this quickly catches the eye: the popular Ivrig glass is now €0.99 each. For anyone who is rearranging, equipping a holiday apartment or simply looking for a few new everyday glasses, this sounds like a small gift.

What distinguishes this glass is not high-tech features but plain practical character: clear glass, rounded at the top, a strikingly angular base, about 11 centimetres high. It is dishwasher-safe — Ikea specifies resistance up to 70 °C — and intended for food and drinks up to a maximum of 50 °C. One note to keep in mind: the shape does not allow safe stacking. That means if you want to fill cabinets, you should store the glasses lying down or in suitable baskets.

Why is this relevant for Mallorca? Many residents furnish with short-term rentals, guest rooms or their own kitchens in mind and look for robust, affordable tableware, as shown by local budget stories such as Celebrate on a Budget: How ALDI's New Gourmet Line Eases Christmas on the Balearic Islands. A price under one euro lowers the barrier to replacing glasses instead of dealing with worn tableware — and that makes everyday life easier: fewer shattered mood moments at breakfast, fewer compromises on the Aperol on the terrace.

Practical everyday tip: stored horizontally, the Ivrig glasses fit well in shallow drawers or wooden crates kept at the back of the cupboard. A thin felt or rubber strip prevents clinking. If you want to save space, you can also use them as small dessert bowls or as a vase for single spring blossoms — the clear look matches almost anything.

Glass also has the advantage of being taste-neutral and inert: drinks keep their flavour, nothing leaches out. On an island where much comes fresh from the market, that is no small point. For families, landlords and anyone with a sense for practical solutions, the offer is therefore more than just a bargain: it’s a way to upgrade household equipment with little effort.

So: if you’re heading to Ikea anyway — the store near Palma is easy to reach — or know someone who is on the way, take a look on the shelf. A small investment, little effort, and the kitchen immediately looks tidier. And if it ends up only being for the second espresso: one euro saved feels a bit more here on the island, similar to other recent local savings such as Gas cylinders in Mallorca are getting cheaper: five-percent cut brings relief and affordable leisure options like Fiesta del Cine: Cinema in Mallorca for €3.50 – where, how and why it's worth it.

Quick facts: Ivrig glass, clear glass, height approx. 11 cm, dishwasher-safe up to 70 °C, for food/drinks up to 50 °C, not stackable, price: €0.99 (reduced from €1.49).
