Know before you buy
The canister is crafted from a combination of glass and metal, featuring nickelplate, goldtone, and oxidized brass finishes to achieve its distinct, layered aesthetic.
The large canister has a capacity of 96 ounces, making it suitable for storing kitchen staples, vanity essentials, or decorative items.
The canister stands 11.5 inches tall and has a diameter of 5.5 inches, providing a substantial presence for a countertop or shelf.
The lid is designed primarily for decorative and aesthetic purposes. While it provides a cover for the contents, it is not an airtight seal and is not intended for long-term food preservation.
To maintain the finish, wipe the canister with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the hand-etched details and the delicate metal plating.
