thirsty : Pokal tumblers

We have a these glasses and as they have broken I haven't been replacing them.  They have these giant 'dimples' on the bottom that collect a ridiculous amount of water in the dishwasher and I have been on the hunt for new tumblers (w/o dimples).  I love these from Ikea and how much more affordable can you get than $1.99?  I sense an Ikea outing in my future so that I can inspect the dimples.

ps.  I guess when we registered for our wedding we requested a set of each size glass: juice glass, cooler glass and double old-fashioned.  We rarely use the juice glasses and could live without the DOF's since we have a set of crystal DOF's.  I think the Pokal tumblers would serve all of our needs and we'd only need to store ONE SET of everyday glasses instead of THREE.

I love my IKEA dishes!! One thing to consider is that kids like using juice glasses more than large ones when they start drinking out of real cups. We ended up getting lots of uses out of them because of that. And they still use them as teenagers!

re: juice glasses...a great thing to keep in mind. Right now we are still all about bottles and sippy cups. ;)

I'm always surprised that so many glasses have them. But I wonder if it has something to do with the way the glasses are made. I know nothing about glassmaking or glassblowing.

Nice shape !!They are a classic shape, but so interesting to see them in ceramic instead of glass.

The tumblers are thick like a mug so I have been using mine for coffee and tea. For the office its great. Minimizes the trips to and from the kitchen quite well.
