5.0 out of 5 stars
I love this item,

This review is from: Tag Vintage Clear Glass Kitchen Large Canister, 21.5 Cup Capacity (Kitchen)
This clear glass canister is both high-tech and nostalgic, embodying the look of efficient modern design but also the warmth of grandma's cookies. Without the stainless-steel screw top and the ribbed glass (and slight imperfections therein), it would just be another storage can. I think the fact that the vertical ribbing is a little wavery is either due to a deliberate recreation of 1930s glass-manufacturing techiques, or a holdover of same -- probably the former. The screw top works well but there is no gasket, so don't expect a "Ball Jar" level of airtightness.Not only is this a good deal, but by shopping around you can find its two little brothers, one of which has a 16 cup capacity -- one full (dry) gallon -- the other even smaller. I own all three and can tell you, they make a handsome and well-proportioned set. I saved about twenty dollars putting together the set myself (out of separate Amazon orders) as opposed to a well-known nostalgic/back to the earth oriented store and website that charges over fifty bucks for the set of three. These items are made in China. .

This is a great item. It combines vintage glass with modern stainless steele. It's versatile, beautiful, and very big.

What I was looking for,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tag Vintage Clear Glass Kitchen Large Canister, 21.5 Cup Capacity (Kitchen)
These canisters are attractive and do actually hold an entire bag of product, which was my problem with most canisters you buy. I use the small ones for powdered sugar and corn meal, the medium one for sugar and the large one for flour. They do have a pretty large diameter, so if you are really cramped for counter space, they might take up too much room. They fit well on our standard sized counter. The glass is not perfect. It will have some small bubbles here and there, but doesn't really detract from the look, in my opinion. The lid screws on, so that might be a plus or a minus depending on your view. Technically, it does not have a seal either, but the lid, if threaded on properly, closes down pretty tight, so I'm not worried about moisture or bugs getting in. The big plus is the size so you don't have a mostly empty bag of flour or sugar sitting in you cupboard because the whole bag wouldn't fit the canister.
