Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Sleek, simply designed, and made of ever-fashionable copper, the four canisters in this set complement a modern kitchen. Bright copper forms most of the exterior and flat lid, while each base and riveted handle is made of brushed stainless steel. A plastic lining inside the lids creates a snug, virtually air-tight interior which is lined with nickel, providing safe storage for flour, sugar, coffee, tea, cookies, and more. The set includes a four-, two-, one-and-one-half-, and one-quart canister. With lids on, the largest measures 8-1/2 inches tall and 7 inches in diameter; the smallest, 5-3/4 inches tall, 4-1/4 inches in diameter.
A substantial weight to the canisters gives the set a solid quality that is not in the least flimsy. Though the canisters are lacquered to prevent the finish from tarnishing, the lacquer doesn't need to be removed before use the way it does on cookware. Care of the copper set is simple: the canisters should be washed by hand in warm, sudsy water and wiped dry. Harsh pads or cleansers that can scratch the finish should be avoided. Matching products in the Gemini line include a cookie jar, tool caddy, and salt and pepper shakers. --Ann Bieri

Owned for one year - not very happy,
By
This review is from: Old Dutch International Gemini Canisters, Set of 4 (Kitchen)
I purchased these cannisters to replace an older set of copper cannisters that had become dented through 17 years of military moves. I love the plastic seals on these cannisters, but the finish is horrible. I have kept them wiped off with a damp cloth, and I dry with a soft dishtowel, but over the year I have owned them, the finish has become more and more faded, spotted, and tarnished. I tried buffing a little spot with a copper cleaner, but the copper finish is so thin that there is literally nothing to buff. The lacquer finish is getting cloudy and the shine is gradually fading. I also bought the tool caddy, which of course is not handled as much as the cannisters are, and it is having the same issues. These are just not worth the money - I would not recommend at all!

I received this product and found several damaged pieces. In addition, I thought the quality of the product did not match either the picture of the item or the price. I sent it back.

This review is from: Old Dutch International Gemini Canisters, Set of 4 (Kitchen)
I bought thesse canisters after i cantacted the manufacturer and found that they are NOT COPPER they are plain steel or VERY low grade stainless steel. A magnet will NOT stick to copper, or high grade stainless steel. My regular kitchen magnet clamps right on to these canisters.I have an old set of nickel lined copper canisters and a magnet will not stick.If you are looking for real copper avoid these canisters
