MacKenzie-Childs Sterling Check Kitchen Canister

The lid is designed as a decorative cover and does not feature a silicone gasket or airtight seal. It is best suited for storing pantry staples like pasta, cookies, or wrapped candies rather than items that require an airtight environment to stay fresh.

To preserve the hand-painted enamel finish, we recommend hand-washing the lid with mild soap and drying it immediately. The glass base can be hand-washed or placed in the dishwasher, but the lid should never be submerged or put in the dishwasher.

While you can certainly store dry goods like flour or sugar in the glass base, keep in mind that the lid is not airtight. If you live in a humid climate or plan to store these items for a long time, you may want to use a liner or keep the canister in a climate-controlled pantry.

Yes, the glass base is substantial and provides a stable foundation for the canister. It is well-weighted for everyday use on a kitchen counter.

Because the enamel lid is hand-painted, there will be slight variations in the check pattern from piece to piece. This is a hallmark of the MacKenzie-Childs process and ensures each canister is unique.
