The canister as fashion item? Yes, in the case of these sleek, stainless-steel window canisters from the European company Brabantia. The brushed stainless steel has Brabantia's exclusive fingerpint-proof finish and the crystal-clear viewing window won't attract static. The matte-black lids have an air-tight seal that audibly clicks into place. These canisters not only look great, they let you look at what's inside. Dishwasher safe.
