Know before you buy

Yes, the lid is specifically designed with a recessed shape to allow for stable, vertical stacking. This helps you maximize shelf space in your pantry or on your countertop.
Yes, both the glass body and the stainless steel lid are dishwasher safe, making them easy to clean and maintain.
Because the lids are finished with traditional yo-hen glazing techniques, each piece features unique organic tones and variations. You can expect slight differences in the glaze effect from one canister to the next.
