Material
Tempered glass with frosted/acid-etched finish; brushed steel or aluminum metal feet with rubberized contact points.
Condition

Demand Level
Moderate. There is a growing niche market for 'Vintage IKEA' from the late 90s/early 2000s, specifically among Gen Z collectors curated toward the Frutiger Aero aesthetic.

Description
A vintage IKEA 'Glatt' series serving platter featuring a modern square design with a frosted checkerboard pattern. This piece stands on four architectural tapered metal feet, giving it a floating appearance. Perfect for Y2K minimalist or Frutiger Aero aesthetic home decor. Approximately 12x12 inches.
Key Features
Discontinued IKEA item; desirable Y2K minimalist aesthetic; heavy tempered glass construction; architectural elevated design.
Authenticity Indicators
Item features the iconic blue/white IKEA price tag/barcode sticker in the center (though faded). The construction of the metal-to-glass adhesive is consistent with IKEA manufacturing from the 2000s. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
A large rectangular adhesive sticker remains in the center which requires Goo-Gone or warm soapy water to remove; minor scuffing on the bottom of the frosted surface.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Etsy (best for 'vintage IKEA' searchers), or eBay for a broader audience. Local pickup via Facebook Marketplace is recommended if you want to avoid the risk of shipping fragile glass.
Selling Tips
Remove the center sticker completely before photographing, as it hides the pattern. Use keywords like 'Y2K', 'Minimalist', 'Scandinavian Design', 'Architectural', and 'Frosted Glass'. If shipping, double-box the item and use plenty of bubble wrap as the feet create pressure points.
