The VARDAGEN products are designed to turn differences into similarities. Like the eggcup. “We did it in a shape that it’s more like a very small dip bowl,” explains Ina. “So it’s also for Asian eating, you know the bowl where you put chili paste and other condiments.” Another bowl has just the right size and shape to be a rice bowl in Asia, but it can also be used as a side-salad or cereal bowl.

VARDAGEN Glass, 43 clJanetGreat for smoothies.
Beautiful and stylishKotoyoSuch great value for beautiful glasses!
We love the shape, size, and colour!!
StylishPeterBought with Behovd and Fruktskal for display near bbq. Looks great.
Spontaneous shatteringEmilyWe've had these glasses for about 9 months and they fared really well for the first 6 months, however over the last few months they have been randomly shattering. We had our 4th glass shatter last night just sitting on the dinner table with nothing near/on or in it. These glasses are a hazard
Exploding GlassesMatthewWe bought these a couple of months ago and they have been fine to use.
Tonight a glass pulled from the cupboard and filled with room temperature water after sitting in a table for 10 minutes shattered without explanation.
Would not recommend.
DANGEROUS!!!IsabellaDO NOT BUY! The literal first time I used these glasses it exploded there was no chip or crack nothing. I left it on the counter, came back an hour later and it had exploded. The fact that ikea knows about this and continues to sell these glasses is dangerous and a liability. Horrible
Nice glassesYolandaLovely water glasses. Nice colour, good size
Don’t purchaseAnonymous reviewerThese are extremely flimsy. One shattered the first time it was put in a dishwasher. Another started chipping at the lip. They’re poorly made and quite dangerous.
Exploding glassesChayneI bought a pack of these glasses and x2 out of the 4 randomly exploded, glass went everywhere. Wasn’t sure if it was just a one off thing so I bought more on my next trip but the same thing happened. Worst part is the bits of glass are so tiny and they go everywhere. Very disappointed and also very dangerous. We have thrown the rest out
multiple spontaneously explodedShanleyI bought these just over one year ago, one glass spontaneously exploded while sitting on the bench in the middle of the night just a few weeks after purchase, and another has just done the same today! Would not recommend, not safe. Seeing in the reviews that this has been happening since 2020 is worrying!
GoodMuhammadGood product in that price!
GoodLizGreat colour and secure to hold
My favourite DanielleBought these for the second time as they look great & last really well. Colour doesn’t chip off as & great quality.
Disappointed – Defective GlassesJennyI bought a pack of six, and was shocked when one glass suddenly shattered into pieces on its own. At first, I thought it was just a one-off, but then two more broke the same way—without being dropped or even touched. That’s three out of six gone without any reason. I didn’t feel safe keeping the rest, so I ended up disposing of them. Definitely seems like a manufacturing fault. Not worth the risk.
Ideal sized liquid holding deviceGilbertSuitable for adults when supervised by children
Great glassesNarellePerfect size and good pricing
Product revEdsanMy kids love it…
Great qualityMatildaThese are heavier than the Fröjda glasses, with a little thicker rim, and not quite as large as I expected but I like them a lot and the colour is very pretty.
satisfied Ikea shopperGinaGlasses are not flimsy, great size and stackable. Love them
Perfect glass.LorettaThese amazing glasses are just perfect. They're a really good weight, they are comfortable to hold and to drink from, perfect capacity and the price is amazing.
I'd recommend these for anyone who wants a good all-rounder drinking glass :)

Story
Designing for the tastes of people around the world
Do you sometimes cook dishes from other cultures? Then you’re part of an international trend called transculturalism. It basically means that global cooking and eating habits are a lot more similar than you may think. How can we cater for this trend? We designed the VARDAGEN series with products that can be used in multiple ways. In Swedish, VARDAGEN means “every day”, which is just how the products are meant to be used, no matter where you live.
“Consumers have access to cultural diversity in cooking and eating from all over the world,” explains Ina Tidbeck Sjöblom, who helped create the products. “They want to taste the best of all cultures, which means that it’s not only in Asia that we need eating products for sushi.”
Creating products for all our differences (and similarities)
Answering the global demand for durability
VARDAGEN is uniquely suited to the global market—catering to the different needs of eaters. One thing people all over the world seem to agree on is the importance of durability. “We know from all the studies and research we do that people don’t want to buy and throw away things, they want to buy something that lasts,” says Ina. That’s why VARDAGEN is made from durable and sustainable materials, like glass, porcelain and stainless steel. That means, just like the name VARDAGEN suggests, they’ll be useful every day for many days to come.

Inspired by old-fashioned craftsmanship, we gave every piece a distinct function. Attention to detail and soft, round shapes make a beautiful frame for the food and drink on the table.
