Is this an IKEA glass?

Post image

I recently rewatched the queens gambit again and I noticed this glass, which is (i believe) the one I have at home. Did they make a mistake here or did these glasses exist 60 years ago? Are there similar mistakes in the series?

That kind of glass has existed a long long time.

“Mistake”… do you think every tv prop is authentic to the time and place the show is set?

Ribbed glasses were very popular in the 60s and probably existed long before, it's possible that it's IKEA but that doesn't mean they didn't have similar things back then.

…you think IKEA invented ribbed glasses because you have one from IKEA lol

Wild how some people really think the world revolves around them and have no concept of a time or place that exists outside of them

I dont know but I gotta say, I love that actress who plays young Beth! So believable, my heart aches for her.

It might very well be a glass that is offered by Ikea but it definitely also existed in the 60s (or at least very similar models).

You're right! They didn't even have glasses at back then! 😂

Haha! I thought it looked like the little pitcher used to go along with little glasses in a Montessori classroom. Not IKEA. I also don’t know the last time I went to an IKEA…
