Signature Housewares Sorrento Collection Canisters, Ruby Antiqued Finish, Set of 3

Great color, like the rubber grommet keeping them airtight, durable

These are great decorative canisters. If you are a matchy-matchy, traditional decor person like yours truly, this set will probably appeal to you in a big way, because you can coordinate them with the dip chiller, spoon rest, tool jar, plates, cups, servers, etc. As other reviewers have noted, there are a few things to take into consideration before you drop the $$.$$ to buy this set:--> Is the seal impenetrable? Nope. The seal is a removable rubber gasket approximately 1/2" thick that slides onto the inner rim of the canister. Since I have coffee, sugar, and dog treats in my canisters and I live in the South (aka bug heaven), contents of these canisters will ALWAYS be sealed in Ziploc bags. If you need a great seal, buy yourself some Lock N Lock containers and just store them in the cupboard.--> Are there some minor issues in the glazing/manufacturing? Sure. There is a pinhead sized spot on my big canister that is missing color and glaze entirely. There is a rough spot near the bottom of the small canister that I need to file down because it has already snagged on my clothing a couple times. Regardless, I would buy these canisters again and recommend them to others. These trivial imperfections fit perfectly in my imperfect kitchen.--> Are the canisters small? Depends. They are great for our needs because I don't use flour anymore, and most of the sugar we use goes into my husband's morning coffee. I can easily fit 3 10-oz bags of ground Starbucks coffee in the big container, about 5-6 cups of sugar in the medium container and one bag of New Balance Limited Ingredient dog greats in the small container. However, if you plan to store 10 pounds of flour in the big canister and 5 pounds of sugar in the medium canister because you bake your own bread every day, you will be sorely disappointed in this set.I looked all over town for a set like this and didn't see anything I liked quite as much. It took about 4 months for me to finally purchase the set, and I'm very glad I did.

I bought this canister set along with a 5-oz spice jar in the same color, and they complement each other very well. The color is even better than you see on the site - check out the photos I added to see the set in "oregano."Each lid has a rubber/silicone seal that works quite well. The lids fit snugly, but are not difficult to remove. I felt confident that things such as dried fruit or soft cat treats would not dry out in these canisters, and that has proven to be true.I did see a previous review that said they were "not airtight," but I found that one of my seals had to be adjusted slightly as if it had moved in the packaging. If you just examine how the seals fit on the bottoms of the lids, and push them up so they are turned "up" flush against the lid, you'll be just fine. (They do not slip down again once you do this.)I am thrilled with this purchase and would even give them as gifts!

I love these canisters! Not only are they great for storage, but they compliment my kitchen. I am a big fan of the Sorrento collection, and I am so far happy with my purchase. I am currently storing sugar and flour; I have not decided what to store in the other canister yet. In any case, the sugar has not hardened, and the flour is still soft and great for cooking and baking. Of course, you could use these canisters for other materials, but I like to have cooking material handy, and it fits the bill.The color is beautiful and consistent not only with the other canisters, but also with the other Sorrento pieces, which I really appreciate. The pieces are sturdy, and I do handwash them. I'm not sure how they would fair in the dishwasher, but would it kill them? I don't think so. In any case, I do recommend these canisters to anyone who wants a decoration, a place for cooking spices/sugars/flours, or even a place for knick-knacks in their kitchen.

I love the color, style and size of these canisters. They match the colors in my kitchen perfectly and are the perfect size for my counters. When I received them, the smaller one had a chip, the medium one had a defect and the largest one's lid did not seem to fit perfectly. I exchanged the set for another one with no difficulty what so ever. Amazon sent me a new set within days and sent me a return label for free shipping back of the old set. Wonderful customer service. By mixing the old pieces with the new one's, I was able to get an almost perfect set. The new lid fit on the original canister, I swapped out the small and middle canisters and lids. The only complaint that I have is that the middle lid does not have the subtle antiqueing that the rest of the set does. But really the only person that knows that is me. You would have to get up close and examine every piece of the set thouroughly and even then, you would need to know what you were looking for. Overall I am extremely happy with the outcome. They are the perfect addition to my kitchen. And have since bought the butter dish. I hope there is not an issue with that purchase, but if there is I'm confident that Amzon will rectify the situation as effeciently and responsibly as they did my last purchase. LOVE THE SET!!!

Canisters came packaged really well. No chips or breakage at all. Color is perfect color. Not a bright true red. More to a brick red color! Just what I was looking for.

The canisters are just lovely....a perfect shade of red for me. If you want candy apple red or fire engine red, these are not for you. The lids do give an airtight fit and will undoubtedly keep things fresh. My only complaint is that they are a bit smaller than I had hoped for and don't fit a lot in them. I keep coffee in the largest one and I did fit a 2 lb bag of brown sugar in the middle sized one, but there really needed to be one extra large one in the set.They are so pretty on my counter top with my white subway tile backsplash, that I could never send them back!!!Of course, every single thing I have ever ordered through Amazon (and there have been a lot) ALWAYS come packaged great and get shipped very quickly.
