IKEA · Kitchenware > Storage & Organization
Era / Decade
2010s (Discontinued line)
Material
Textured clear glass body with brushed stainless steel screw-top lids and polyethylene plastic interior seals.
Condition
Very Good. The glass appears clear without chips or cracks. There are minor cosmetic surface scratches on the stainless steel lids and sticky residue from thrift store price tags that will require removal.
Demand Level
Moderate to High. There is a strong secondary market for discontinued IKEA organization items, especially glass-and-metal lines that feel higher quality than modern plastic alternatives.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$25.00 - $45.00 for the pair (high end reflects the discontinued status and desire for matching sets).
Estimated Retail Value
$15.00 - $20.00 (Original retail was approximately $7.99 to $9.99 each depending on size).
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sold listings for single Droppar pasta jars range from $15 to $22 plus shipping. Sets of 2-3 often sell for $35-$55 depending on the rarity of the textured pattern.
Description
Set of two discontinued IKEA Droppar glass kitchen canisters. One features a diamond crosshatch pattern and the other a modern rectangular grid pattern. These tall, cylindrical jars are perfect for dry goods like spaghetti, rice, or flour. Each features a sleek, minimalist brushed stainless steel lid that screws on securely. These are highly sought after by IKEA enthusiasts after being phased out for newer, less durable styles. Approximately 11 inches tall.
Key Features
Discontinued 'Droppar' line; modernist Scandinavian aesthetic; textured glass prevents fingerprints; airtight storage; heavy-duty glass construction; highly collectible for those completing existing sets.
Authenticity Indicators
Typical IKEA minimalist design language; if the lids are removed, there is often a stamped 'IKEA' logo or glass mold number on the bottom of the jar. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant adhesive residue on lids from Savers price tags (fixable with Goo Gone); minor light scuffs on the metal finish; interior plastic gaskets should be checked for brittleness or staining.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy (for vintage/retro home decor) are best for reaching a national audience. Facebook Marketplace is a good backup for local sales if shipping weight is a concern.
Selling Tips
Remove all price stickers and residue before photographing. Use the keyword 'Discontinued' and 'MCM Modern' in the title. Photograph them against a clean, white background to emphasize the glass clarity. Ship with double-boxing and plenty of bubble wrap as these are heavy and fragile.
