MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check Enamel Canister - Small

The Courtly Check Small Canister is the daily-driver of the enamel canister range — the size that earns a permanent place on the kitchen counter rather than in a cupboard. Hand-painted black-and-white checks on heavy-gauge steel, topped with the carved faux-cinnabar knob that distinguishes every enamel canister in the Courtly Check line. Fill it with coffee beans in the morning, loose-leaf tea in the afternoon, or sugar for the baking that happens on weekends. It holds 38 ounces — enough for the contents you reach for every day, small enough to stay within reach.

Look carefully at the checks and you'll find a palette of jewel tones color-dragged by the artisan's hand into the black-and-white ground. No two pieces are exactly alike. The silicone seal inside the lid keeps contents fresh and the lid secure. Beyond the kitchen: cotton balls and swabs in the bathroom, pens in the home office, small craft supplies anywhere else.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Courtly Check enamel canister and the Kitchen Canister?
The enamel canister (this one) has an all-enamel steel body and lid — entirely opaque and fully food-safe. The Kitchen Canister has a clear glass body with an enamel lid, so you can see contents at a glance. The glass body is dishwasher safe; the enamel lid is hand-wash only.

Is the Courtly Check Canister airtight?
The silicone seal inside the lid creates a tight fit that keeps contents fresh. It's not vacuum-sealed, but it seals well enough for pantry staples, coffee, and dry goods.

What size canister should I buy?
The Small (38 oz) suits coffee beans, loose-leaf tea, or sugar. The Medium (48 oz) works well for flour or pasta. The Large (64 oz) is the pantry anchor for larger quantities.

Is the Courtly Check Canister dishwasher safe?
No — wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Hand-wash if needed and dry immediately. Do not microwave. Discontinue food use if the enamel becomes chipped or cracked.
