Like a little army of shiny sous-chefs that never tire, this quintuplet of canisters contains 50+ plus years of fully functional classic kitchen style. And they are ready for another 50 more!

{HISTORY}

In a midcentury kitchen in New York City, Old Dutch was started by two guys passionate about copper cookware. That was in the 1950's. Still going strong today, it is still a family operation today, now expanding its glova reach with the same enthusiasm that started it. The De La Cuisine series debuted in the 1960's and ran the gamut as far as pots and pans, pantry items, warming servers and the like. French cooks have always been fans of copper cookware for their superior overall quality and even heating capability. Plus they are marvelously stylish. 

This set of vintage 1960's De La Cuisine canisters is copper plated over aluminum for lightweight, easy-to-move-around organization and effortless maintenance. They are super clean on the inside and authentically weathered on the outside giving them a wonderful aged patina just like old copper. 

{SPECIAL FEATURES}

- Matching set of 5 canisters 

- All of the canisters contain the de la cuisine label. One of the canisters is marked "Cookies" the others are blank - meant to be filled in for whatever purpose needed.

- Each canister comes with its own secure and tight fitting lid.

- Graduated range of sizes for your needs. 

- Please note: These canisters do not nest. The bases fit one inside the other but the lids do not.

{CONDITION} 

In gorgeous, condition. Very clean on the inside. Very bright and shiny on the outside. There are a few minor dents on some canisters and a couple worn spots (mostly on the cookie canister) where the copper plating has rubbed away. These worn spots are small circular things no bigger than 1/4" inch. The bottoms of all the canisters have rub marks where the copper plating has worn away. All de la cuisine medallions have slight rusting around their edges given them a great weathered look. Please see pictures for details.
